  1. 1. A Consumer Perspective on Reshoring Production: Insights from Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Madeliene Hedin; Yajun Liang; Witt Gustaf; [2023]
    Keywords : Reshoring; Swedish Consumers; Purchase Intention; Brand Attitude; Social Acceptability; Perceived Social Responsibility;

    Abstract : Background: Reshoring refers to the process of bringing back manufacturing activities from foreign countries to the home country. The phenomenon is receiving increasing attention from companies and academics for factors such as increasing labor costs in offshore locations, supply chain disruptions, and a growing preference for locally made products.

  3. 2. Understanding the entrepreneurial process to adopt renewable energies in Sweden : a case study on an offshore wind park project in the Baltic Sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Erik Falkenhain; [2023]
    Keywords : offshore wind parks; entrepreneurial processes; governance; agency; power relations;

    Abstract : The alarming magnitude of the global climate crisis is on the rise. Thus, a profound and rapid energy system transition towards renewable energies is needed. Offshore wind (OSW) parks are a promising energy source to boost green energy production. While OSW has been adopted in many European countries (e. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Paradigm Shift for Substations Technology within Wind Power Applications from Onshore to Floating

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Ahmad Talaat Hifzy; [2023]
    Keywords : Floating; offshore; substation; transformer; GIS; equipment; high-voltage; fatigue; Flytande; havsbaserad; station; transformator; GIS; utrustning; högspänning; utmattning;

    Abstract : Floating wind turbines are attracting more attention as more than three-quarters of the total offshore technical potential is located in deep water, leading to a growing trend in floating wind farm projects. Consequently, it becomes necessary to develop Floating Offshore Substation (FOSS) to step up voltage and efficiently transmit power to the shore with minimal losses. READ MORE

  5. 4. An assessment of circular economy measures in the construction value chain for offshore wind turbines

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggproduktion

    Author : Therése Svensson; [2023]
    Keywords : Circular economy; Construction value chain; Wind energy; Offshore wind turbine; Offshore wind farm; Design; Manufacturing; Construction; Operation and maintenance; End of life; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. READ MORE

  6. 5. Review and Design of DC Electrical Field Measurement Systems and Related Developments : For Measurements Around HVDC Cable Terminations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Emil Bergvall; [2023]
    Keywords : DC Field Probe; Measurement Systems; Electric Fields; Cable Termination; Ion Drift; Conductivity; HVDC; Field Mill; Field Simulations; Positioning System; MEMS; Electro-Optics; DC Fält Prob; Mätsystem; Elektriska Fält; Kabelavslut; Jondrift; Ledningsförmåga; HVDC; Fältkvarn; Fält Simulationer; Positioneringsystem; MEMS; Elektro-Optik;

    Abstract : With power generation and consumption placed further away from each other, with for example increased offshore power production, the need for HVDC transmission systems increases. As voltage levels in the HVDC transmission system are raised, the losses can be decreased, enabling efficient power transfer over longer distances. READ MORE
