  1. 1. Effect of Trace Elements on the Particle Size of Magnesium Silicide in Aluminium Extrusion : The Use of Thermo-Calc and DICTRA in order to Produce Aluminium more Efficiently

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Gustav Boustedt; Johan Alexander Valentin Nygren; Gustav Strandgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermo-Calc; DICTRA; simulations; EN AW 6082; extrusion; particle precipitation; Mg2Si; sustainable; trace elements; aluminium;

    Abstract : This project is a feasibility study for Hydro Extrusion Sweden AB, a company that produces extruded aluminium profiles. The main purpose of this project was to analyse the difference of Mg2Si particle sizes in aluminium alloys when varying parameters, such as cooling rate and composition, in aluminium extrusion, particularly the EN AW 6082 alloy.

  3. 2. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

  4. 3. The climate impact of fishways : A life cycle assessment of Blyberg’s and Spjutmo’s up- and downstream fishways

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

    Author : Ellen Lundin; Lovisa Liljenberg; [2023]
    Keywords : LCA; life cycle analysis; life cycle assessment; fishways; fish; fish migration; climate impact; technical fishways; co2 equivalents; co2 eq; hydro power; HPP; Sweden; construction; concrete; reinforcement steel;

    Abstract : The Swedish national plan for reapproval of hydropower describes that hydropower plants (HPPs) are required to be reassessed to ensure that modern environmental conditions are set for the permits. Since dams and HPPs create barriers for migrating fish and consequently disfavor biological diversity, one consequence of the national plan is that fishways are being constructed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Pilot Study: Test Rig for Self-lubricating Kaplan Runner Bearings

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

    Author : Bhairav Khadke; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig. Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig.; Vattenkraft; Kaplanturbin; Självsmörjande lager Testrigg.;

    Abstract : Hydropower has a relatively small impact on the climate and contributes to almost half of Sweden’s electricity production. Vattenfall own and operate roughly 125 large scale hydro power units of which about half utilizes a Kaplan turbine. READ MORE

  6. 5. Batteries charging into the future? Techno-economical analysis of BESS participation on the Swedish frequency regulation market using a mixed method approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljö- och energisystem

    Author : Theodor Rosengren; [2023]
    Keywords : Battery Energy Storage Systems; Frequency Regulation; FCR-D; FFR; economic feasibility; Sweden; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the penetration of variable renewable energy is increasing, the demand for flexibility in the electrical grid is on the rise. One way in which flexibility is needed is to provide frequency regulation. If electricity consumption and production momentarily are unbalanced there needs to. READ MORE
