1. 1. INDUCTIVE RAILWAY SWITCH POINT HEATING : Improved control algorithm and phase compensation analysis for an inductive turnout heating system, and comparison with a resistive heating system

   University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

   Author : Erik Nordlund; [2023]
   Keywords : Inductive switch point heating; Turnout heating; railway turnout heating; Inductive heating;

   Abstract : Railway turnout heating is essential during the winter because snow and ice can hinder the movement of the switch. In Sweden, heating has traditionally been done using resistive heating wires mounted to the stock rail, but the technology is outdated and generally exhibits low efficiency and performance.

3. 2. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

4. 3. Potential benefits of implementing demand response into Vattenfall’s district cooling grid in Uppsala, Sweden

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

   Author : Magdalena Guerrero Wretljung; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Lately, there has been an increased cooling demand in Vattenfall’s district cooling (DC) network in Uppsala, Sweden. This especially occurs on warmer summer days, during so-called peak demand periods, where there is limited cooling capacity combined with limited distribution capacity in the network. READ MORE

5. 4. Normalization of Cooling Demand in Buildings, development, and evaluation of methods

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

   Author : Xingtong Wu; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Because of the increasing demand for indoor thermal comfort and the better insulation performance of building envelopes, cooling demand is an increasingly important part of building energy consumption despite the cold climate in Stockholm. Finding a way to normalize cooling demand to climatic conditions will help better energy audits to improve the building performance to achieve energy-saving. READ MORE

6. 5. Electric conversion of combustion engine cars

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar produktionsutveckling (ML)

   Author : Annika Modling; Bobby Åbrandt; [2022]
   Keywords : Electric conversion; combustion engine; electric motor; lithium-ion; lead-acid; DIY; second hand; Elkonvertering; förbränningsmotor; elmotor; litiumjon; blysyra; DIY; begagnat; cirkulär process;

   Abstract : The electrification of personal transport vehicles is one of the strategies to counteract global warming and dependance on fossil fuels. Diesel powered cars are already prohibited in several big cities and the prices for fuel are constantly climbing. READ MORE
