  1. 1. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  3. 2. Solar Photovoltaic Fire Risks : FE-analysis of fire exposed solar photovoltaic systems and comparison of current legislation and recommendations from different countries

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Elin Bergroth; Greta Torstensson; [2023]

    Abstract : The global use of energy increases every day and to meet the growing demand, energy sources are constantly being developed to become more efficient and reliable. During the last decade, the global solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity has increased every year and in 2017, solar PV was the global leading power source of renewable energy. READ MORE

  4. 3. Investigation on Enhancing Fire Threat Perception in Virtual Reality through Subject-Expectancy Effect

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Hsuan-Ting Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; safe distance; subject-expectancy effect; thermal radiation; placebo effect; fire scenario.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the use of subject-expectancy effect on enhancing fire threat perception in virtual reality. The study involves a virtual fire scenario design and 33 participants who experience virtual fires of three different scales in the scenario using a head-mounted display as visual and auditory perception and adopting physical movement in real world as their way of locomotion.
