   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Anton Segovia Lundh; [2023]
   Keywords : solar thermal; concentrated solar power CSP ; renewable energy; performance evaluation; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Given the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. READ MORE

3. 2. Life Cycle Assessment of Absolicon solar thermal collector field for district heating in Härnösand

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ohm Ariyakhajorn; [2023]
   Keywords : Life Cycle Assessment; Solar Thermal Energy; District Heating System; Livscykelanalys; Solvärme; Fjärrvärmesystem;

   Abstract : Global energy consumption has been increasing continuously every year. Many energy sources are utilized. Conventional fossil fuels are not sustainable, and their environmental impacts are more apparent than ever before. For heating purposes, most of the heat still comes from combustion of both non-renewable and renewable energy sources. READ MORE

5. 4. Technical performance modelling and optimization of PVT collectors in GSHP integration

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

   Author : Marin Courcault; [2023]
   Keywords : PVT; ISO9806:2017; mass flow; use conditions; test conditions; coefficients optimization; TRNSYS; PVT; ISO9806:2017; massflöde; användningsförhållanden; testförhållanden; optimering av koefficienter; TRNSYS;

   Abstract : In order to contribute to reducing the CO2 emissions related to heating in housing buildings, PVT+GSHP systems appear to be interesting solutions and therefore need to be further investigated to optimise their design and increase their deployment on the field. This thesis focused on building PVT model, using the ISO9806:2017, to be integrated in a PVT+GSHP model and determining optimal PVT design parameters for this system. READ MORE

6. 5. Assessment of the integration of solar heat power into food drying processes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Charalampos Psilopoulos; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable; sustainability; co2 reduction; feasibility; solar thermal; direct steam generation; drying; food industry; scope 1 emissions; sdg; sustainable development goals; spray drying; drum drying; powder; food; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit significant amounts of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs).
