16. Exploring the water-energy nexus in the Omo river basin : A first step toward the development of an integrated hydrological-OSeMOSYS energy model
University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknikAbstract : The issues of conflicts between water, energy and food (often referred to as WEFnexus) has become a problem in countries where the energy system is rapidly expanding; one of those countries is Ethiopia. Ethiopia has a large potential of hydropower, which is what most of the electricity production currently comes from. READ MORE

17. Coordination of Wind Power and Hydro Power
University essay from KTH/Industriell ekologiAbstract : The goal of this project was to calculate how much wind power could be balanced with hydro power in our designated area consisting of five hydro power stations, four villages which consume power, possible locations for wind power and one connection to the national grid. To achieve this a simulation model was constructed in the GAMS software with the goal of achieving the maximum profit from the hydro power plants by considering electricity prices, inflow of water, the physical construction of the power plants and the time of year.

18. Smart Curtain : An Innovative System for Energy Conservation
University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)Abstract : The goal of the thesis was constructing a control system for a curtain that would regulate its position between up- and down states depending on out/indoor temperature and incoming solar radiation in order to be more energy efficient. A curtain hanging in front of a window creates a pocket of air, which in tandem with the curtain insulates the window and decreases heat loss, but at the same time it vastly decreases how much solar energy enters the room.

19. Modeling and Optimization of Energy Utilization of Air Ventilation System of an Auditorium
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/EnergisystemAbstract : Maintaining IAQ (Internal Air Quality) and thermal comfort of occupants in buildings have been a challenge to overcome satisfying the two ends: criteria for sustainability and cost effectiveness. Although there was a movement for mechanical ventilation systems in the recent past, in addition to the cost involved, they are found to not deliver the desired air quality, lead to social consequences such as sick building syndrome, contribute to environmental consequences related to ozone-depleting substances with increasing energy consumption, generate noise and having difficulties in cleaning and maintaining.

20. Climate Impact Modeling of Hydrological Inflow into the Swedish Power Market
University essay from KTH/Numerisk analys, NAAbstract : Hydrological inflow, in the form of rainfall and snowmelt, has a great impact on electricity prices in hydro-dominated energy markets such as that of Sweden. As power market participants prepare to meet the challenges of a range of climate change scenarios, such as a two-degree rise in mean global temperature, information about changing inflow patterns is increasingly important.
