  1. 21. Virtual Power Plant Optimization Utilizing the FCR-N Market : A revenue maximization modelling study based on building components and a Battery Energy Storage System. Based on values from Sweden's first virtual power plant, Väla.

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

    Author : Bill Edwall; [2020]
    Keywords : Virtual power plants; Battery energy storage system; Frequency containment reserve – normal; component optimization;

    Abstract : Renewable energy resources are projected to claim a larger part of the Swedish power mix in coming years. This could potentially increase frequency fluctuations in the power grid due to the intermittency of renewable power generating resources. These fluctuations can in turn cause issues in the power grid if left unchecked. READ MORE

  3. 22. Exploring the sustainability potential of an algae-based wood adhesive : Comparative and explorative environmental life cycle assessment of algae- vs. formaldehyde- based adhesives for particleboard production
