1. 1. 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.

3. 2. Sustainable Production Patterns for Hydropower Units

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

   Author : Hannington Kayanja; [2023]
   Keywords : Automatic control; Hydropower modelling; PD-controller; Sustainable power production; Water level control.;

   Abstract : Globally, a significant portion of energy comes from hydropower. However, harnessing hydro energy interrupts the natural state of river flows, thus affecting the ecological processes of the surrounding communities. READ MORE

4. 3. Pre-study for SMR and Nuclear Establishment in Norway

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Johan Stefan Nordström; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy mapping; Nuclear power; SMR; small modular reactors; siting; Norway; Energy; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. READ MORE

5. 4. Dynamic Warning Signals and Time Lag Analysis for Seepage Prediction in Hydropower Dams : A Case Study of a Swedish Hydropower Plant

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Datalogi

   Author : Lovisa Olsson; Julia Hellström; [2023]
   Keywords : hydropower; dam safety; dam monitoring; seepage; prediction models; data-driven methods; artificial intelligence; AI;  linear regression; Support Vector Regression; SVR; Long Short-Term Memory; LSTM;

   Abstract : Hydropower is an important energy source since it is fossil-free, renewable, and controllable. Characteristics that become especially important as the reliance on intermittent energy sources increases. However, the dams for the hydropower plants are also associated with large risks as a dam failure could have fatal consequences. READ MORE

6. 5. Lifecycle Assessment of a Lithium-ion Battery Storage System for Frequency Regulation in a Real-World Application

   University essay from

   Author : Samuel Sulemanu; [2023]
   Keywords : Frequency Containment Reserve - Disturbance FCR-D ; Frequency Regulation; Life Cycle Assessment LCA ; Lithium-ion Battery; Simapro; Renewable Energy; Solar PV; Wind; Energy; Climate Change;

   Abstract : Integrating more renewable energy sources into the grid has caused increased instability due to the intermittency of renewable energy sources. Hence, the need for grid balancing strategies such as frequency regulation has intensified. READ MORE
