  1. 11. Modelling façade temperature using meteorological data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erik Maesel; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urbanization has increased drastically during the last century, and in 2007, the urban population exceeded that of the rural. Urban areas tend to be warmer than those of its surrounding due to the urban heat island effect (UHI) which can bring harmful effects to people living in urban areas. READ MORE

  3. 12. Optimizing sunlight distribution in agrivoltaic systems for the Swedish climate

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Solcellsteknik

    Author : Amanda Daniels; [2022]
    Keywords : agrivoltaics; agri-PV; solar energy; PV; photovoltaics; agriculture; renewable energy; sketchup; solenergi; jordbruk; förnyelsebar energi;

    Abstract : Due to a rising land demand for the construction of large-scale PV-systems, there is increasing competition between energy and food production. A new emerging segment within the PV market called agrivoltaics is providing a contributing solution to this issue by co-using the land for both crop cultivation and PV energy. READ MORE

  4. 13. Investigation and evaluation of optical distance sensors

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

    Author : Olof Wigzell; [2022]
    Keywords : optics; radiometry; senssor; microcontroller; irradiance; circuit design; calibration; validation;

    Abstract : Optical sensors are among the sensors that are often used for distance measurements. An optical distance sensor is basically made of a light emitter (Tx) such as a light emitting diode (LED), a light receiver (Rx) such as a photosensitive transistor, and a circuit supporting the operation of the Tx and Rx.

  6. 15. Centennial Climate Variability

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Thomas Askjær; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate variability; paleoclimate; climatemodelsimulations; proxyrecords; spectralanalysis; model proxycomparison;

    Abstract : Throughout earths history, the climate have always naturally varied due to both external forcings and internal mechanisms. With the outlook on future climate change, it is important to understand the climate system and this includes its natural variability. Depending on the driving mechanisms, the variability happens over different timescales. READ MORE
