  1. 1. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

    Abstract : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

  3. 2. Drivers of sea level variability using neural networks

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Linn Carlstedt; [2023-05-10]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Understanding the forcing of regional sea level variability is crucial as many people all over the world live along the coasts and are endangered by extreme sea levels and the global sea level rise. The adding of fresh water into the oceans due to melting of the Earth’s land ice together with thermosteric changes has led to a rise of the global mean sea level with an accelerating rate during the twentieth century.

  4. 3. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  5. 4. Rare Earth Metals' Resiliency and Volatility Spillover Effects : A Critical Supply Assessment for Western Technologies From a Risk Management Perspective

  6. 5. Comprehensive Venus boundaries model : Empirical dependency of boundaries on the upstream conditions

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

    Author : Umberto Rollero; [2023]
    Keywords : Bow shock; Ion Composition Boundary; Venus; Upstream conditions; Solar wind.; Bow shock; Bogshock; Ion Composition Boundary; Venus; Uppströmsförhållanden; Solvind.;

    Abstract : Since Venus is an unmagnetized planet, it doesn’t interact with the solar wind in the same way as planets with an intrinsic magnetic field do. Due to its conductive ionosphere, however, it still possesses an induced magnetosphere. READ MORE
