  1. 16. Are Carnot Batteries an Alternative to Converting Coal Power Plants? : An open-sourced technoeconomic optimization approach for testing a new niche for Carnot Batteries.

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Vartan Jakob Ahrens Kayayan; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As Europe transitions away from coal-fired power plants, there is an opportunity to reshape the electrical infrastructure. Many of the current plans are to make a switch to natural gas, another fossil fuel. Refurbishing existing power plants has several advantages. Components can be put to a new purpose. READ MORE

  3. 17. Modeling and Evaluation of High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells for Truck Applications

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Johannes Wrangstål; Marcus Ögren; [2022]
    Keywords : Modeling; Fuel Cell; FCHEV; HTPEM; LTPEM; ECMS; High temperature proton exchange membrane;

    Abstract : With increasing demands on lowering carbon emissions, fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles (FCHEV) have been seen as an alternative to the fossil-fuel driven trucks of today. These would have less emissions and strive to have the same range as any diesel driven transport vehicle. READ MORE

  4. 18. LES modelling of spray combustion

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Arvid Åkerblom; [2021]
    Keywords : Gas Turbine; CFD; Large Eddy Simulation; Lagrangian Particle Tracking; Chemical Kinetics; Reaction Mechanism; Combustion; OpenFOAM; CHEMKIN; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Computational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a method that is capable of accurately simulating the combustion of a conventional fuel.

  5. 19. Anaerobic Co-digestion of steam pretreated wheat straw and sewage sludge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Virginia Tosi; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic co-digestion; wheat straw pretreatment; nutrients availability; OLR; VFA acumulation; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields.

  6. 20. Regional Energy Transitions in England: The Governing Role of Combined Authorities in the Decarbonisation of Heating

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Susannah Littlewood; [2021]
    Keywords : Decarbonisation of Heating; Regional Energy Transitions; Combined Authorities; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating.
