  1. 1. Optimization of battery pack assembly of second life cells to reduce costs

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

    Author : Akash Prasad Chowdry; [2022]
    Keywords : Batteries; second life cells; active cell balancing; lossless cell balancing; off-grid solar; solar home systems; Batterier; second life cells; aktiv cellbalansering; förlustfri cellbalansering; solceller utanför nätet; solcellssystem för hemmabruk.;

    Abstract : Batteries account for 50% of the overall cost of solar home systems (SHS). The battery packs degrade over time and when they reach 70% state of health (SOH), the whole SHS is discarded. In the predominantly rural off-grid context, battery replacements are expensive and impractical. The customers are often dozens of km away from any sales point. READ MORE

    Abstract : Over the past decade, technologies that facilitate household electricity production and storage have seen a rapid development along with a significant cost reduction. Research points to an increased share of household-produced electricity within the existing national grids across the globe. READ MORE

  4. 3. Techno-economic analysis of mobile battery storage systems to utilize curtailed wind energy in Germany for off-grid applications

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

    Author : Muhammad Bilal Siddique; [2019]
    Keywords : Wind energy curtailment; Energy storage; Mobile battery storage; Germany; Vindkraftsnedskärning; Energilagring; Mobil batterilagring; Tyskland;

    Abstract : The increasing share of renewable energy especially wind energy leads to increased share of unpredictable and varying energy into the grid. This leads to congestion in the grid which ultimately results in wind curtailment. In Germany in 2015 alone more than 4000 GWh of wind energy was curtailed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Artificial Intelligence in rural offgrid Polygeneration Systems: : A Case Study with RVE.Sol focusing on Electricity Supply & Demand Balancing

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

    Author : Axel Bruck; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Growing data generation and increasing computational power accelerate the advance of machine learning (ML) as a subsection of artificial intelligence in various sectors, while in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) electrification cannot keep up with the pace of population growth. Hence, this study aims to determine how ML can support rural polygeneration minigrids and thus assisting the electrification efforts in SSA in cooperation with the company RVE. READ MORE

  6. 5. Cost comparison of solar home systems and PV micro-grid : The influence of inter-class diversity

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Mattias Kronebrant; [2017]
    Keywords : rural electrification; off-grid; micro-grid; shs; solar homer system; homer; photovoltaic; PV; solceller; elektricitet; landsbygd; batterier; microgrid; minigrid; offgrid;

    Abstract : Nearly one fifth of the global population lacks access to electricity and electricity access is essential for economic growth and human well-being. SHSs and micro-grids both have the possibility of increasing the electricity access in developing countries. READ MORE
