  1. 16. Flood Simulation in the Colombian Andean Region Using UAV-based LiDAR : Minor Field Study in Colombia

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

    Author : Simon Höglund; Linus Rodin; [2023]
    Keywords : UAV; Unmanned aerial vehicle; LiDAR; Light detection and ranging; UAV-based LiDAR; UAV photogrammetry; Aerial photogrammetry; Flooding Colombia; UN Sustainability Development Goals; UAV; Obemannade flygfordon; LiDAR; Ljus- och avståndsdetektion; UAV-baserad LiDAR; UAV-fotogrammetri; Flygfotogrammetri; Översvämning Colombia; FN; hållbarhetsutvecklingsmål;

    Abstract : Flooding is a worldwide problem that every year causes substantial damage for the environment and stakeholders nearby, and this impact relates to several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Colombia is specially prone to flooding as 17% of its surface area is at risk of extreme flooding. READ MORE

  3. 17. Suppression of Li-ion Battery Fires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Linfan Cai; [2023]
    Keywords : Lithium-ion Battery; Fire Suppression System; Extinguishing Agent; Thermal Runaway; Battery Energy Storage System; Electric Vehicle; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a systematic literature review of fixed fire suppression systems and extinguishing agents for lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires. The review identifies 85 relevant sources published between 2013 and March 2023, and categorises different research experiments into cell-level, module-level, electric vehicle (EV) pack-level, battery energy storage system (BESS) rack-level and warehouse storage experiments, according to LIB configurations.

  4. 18. Characterisation of Ionic Liquid doped Polybenzimidazole Membranes for Application in High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Adam Jacobsson Trönndal; [2023]
    Keywords : Fuel cells; Phosphoric acid; Polybenzimidazole; PA-PBI; Ionic liquid; IL; High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell; HT-PEMFC; Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy; EIS; IL-PBI; Chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this study four membranes were tested and evaluated against each other for use in high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) applications. A phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane, was used as a reference as the current state-of-the-art. READ MORE

  5. 19. Reconnecting Gävle’s Delta : a post-industrial urban transformation project for Sweden’s coastal landscape

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Rachel Murray; [2023]
    Keywords : resilience; blue-green infrastructure; nature-based solutions; flooding; brownfield development; post-industrial urban development; landscape architecture; urban planning; climate adaptation; water-sensitive urban design; urban ecology;

    Abstract : This speculative design-led research project addresses the challenges of transforming dilapidated post-industrial brownfield sites into thriving, sustainable, resilient urban neighbourhoods. Tasked with allocating urban growth, municipality planning departments increasingly look towards underused but centrally located industrial sites for future development. READ MORE

  6. 20. Flood mitigation at catchment scale: assessing the effectiveness of constructed wetlands

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Elin Ekström; [2023]
    Keywords : Nature-based solutions; wetlands; catchment; performance indicators; flood management; hydrological modeling; SWAT; Naturbaserade lösningar; våtmarker; avrinningsområde; nyckelindikatorer; översvämningshantering; hydrologisk modellering; SWAT;

    Abstract : Considering the potential for natural wetlands to store and retain water in the landscape,restored and constructed wetlands are increasingly implemented as Nature‐BasedSolutions (NBS) to mitigate downstream flooding. However, there is a frequent lack ofknowledge of the performance of NBS, and particularly wetlands, and how to best selectperformance indicators to measure their effectiveness. READ MORE
