1. 1. Integrating Waste Heat from Hydrogen Production Into District Heating

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Fawzi Kayali; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydrogen; Electrolysis; Waste Heat Recovery; Combined Heat and Power Plant; District Heating; Simulation; Sustainable Heating Systems; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The aim of this research is to explore the feasibility of the integration of waste heat from electrolyzers within a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant and district heating (DH) network and suggest a practical setup for integration. With the escalating emphasis on the development of green hydrogen through electrolysis powered by renewable energy, a substantial amount of waste heat is generated, typically left unused. READ MORE

3. 2. Techno-economic analysis and simulation of low temperature district heating networks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Ilia Iarkov; [2023]
   Keywords : Low-temperature district heating; Modelica; BTES; LCA; LCC; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The continuous increase in global energy consumption has led to a greater focus on the energy required for heating buildings. This thesis presents a techno-economic model for analysing low-temperature district heating networks coupled with a geothermal heat source. READ MORE

4. 3. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. READ MORE

5. 4. Decentralizing electricity generation in Cuba : Implementation of a microgrid in the sugar mil lCarlos Baliño

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

   Author : Aylin Berber; Cornelia Eriksson; [2023]
   Keywords : Microgrid; renewable energy; bagasse; self-sufficiency; Microgrid; förnybar energi; bagass; självförsörjande;

   Abstract : Cuba has a long history of different dependencies and is a country facing many energy challenges, and therefore seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The purpose of this degree project is therefore to conceptualize a microgrid based on renewable energy sources for local energy sustainability at the lowest cost possible. READ MORE

6. 5. How Novel Business Models for Decentralised Renewable Energy Generation Transform the German Energy System: A Multi-Level Perspective

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Anniki Birth; [2023]
   Keywords : Energy transition; Business models; Multi-level perspective; Socio-technical transitions; Sustainability; Societal transitions; Sustainable business models; Renewable energy;

   Abstract : In order to mitigate climate change, human activity needs to be decarbonised through a phase-out of fossil fuels, replaced by renewable energy sources. Here, sustainable business models can play an important role through connecting niche renewable technologies to the wider system and thereby allowing them to diffuse. READ MORE
