  1. 1. Tracking Optimization in Agrivoltaic Systems : A Comparative Study for Apple Orchards

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Maddalena Bruno; [2023]
    Keywords : Agrivoltaics; Optimization; Light sharing; Apple Orchards; Lantbruk; Optimering; Ljusdelning; Äppelodlingar;

    Abstract : Agrivoltaic (APV) systems, based on the co-location of solar panels and crops, are an innovative solution to land-use conflicts that often arise between agriculture and energy production. Their optimal functioning starts with efficient management and sharing of light between solar panels and underlying plants. READ MORE

  3. 2. Water born cooling of closed greenhouses : An enclosed vertical water curtain cooling system

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Ahmad Kamal; [2022]
    Keywords : Greenhouses; Water born cooling; Enclosed water curtain; radiative cooling; Surplus heat energy;

    Abstract : The greenhouses play a key role in food sustainable production, the purpose of the greenhouses is to make an artificial suitable environment to grow different kinds of plants. The cost of energy used in the greenhouses to ensure the optimum temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration, makes up a large part of the final cost of food. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effects of solar parabolic- trough collectors in small- scale district heating systems

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Alejandro Monterrubio; [2022]
    Keywords : Parabolic-trough collector; direct normal radiation; diffuse radiation; insolation; carbon abatement cost; biomass; District Heating; Levelized cost of energy;

    Abstract : Reducing carbon emissions in our societies requires a massive shift towards renewables. In Sweden, biomass is the dominant source for the district heat production, but growing demand for biomass in other sectors may cause pressure on it. READ MORE
