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

    Author : ERIK FORSMAN; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The implementation of renewable energy sources continues the rise throughout the world as a means to combat the threats of climate change. This does however bring with it problems within the power sector. READ MORE

  3. 12. Modelling bifacial photovoltaic systems : Evaluating the albedo impact on bifacial PV systems based on case studies in Denver, USA and Västerås, Sweden

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Anton Nygren; Elin Sundström; [2021]
    Keywords : Bifacial PV; albedo; modelling photovoltaics; solar radiation; module price; OptiCE;

    Abstract : This study aims to develop a simulation and optimisation tool for bifacial photovoltaic (PV) modules based on the open-source code OptiCE and evaluate dynamic and static albedo impact on a bifacial PV system. Further, a review of the market price development of bifacial PVs' and an optimisation to maximise energy output was conducted. READ MORE

  4. 13. Rooftop plant factories: effects on energy use for heating, cooling and electric lighting

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

    Abstract : Within the next thirty years, two thirds of the human population will live in a city. This growing urban population requires a major shift in the way we produce and distribute food, since industrial agriculture practices contribute to climate change, biodiversity losses, pollution of waterways, soil degradation, etc. READ MORE

  5. 14. Optimization of a battery energy storage system : For utilization of peak shaving and fast frequency reserve

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Robert Sundgren; [2020]
    Keywords : battery energy stroage system optimization;

    Abstract : As Sweden switches to increasing renewable electricity production the demand on the energy grid and energy market will become higher. Since a bigger part of the electricity consumption will come from flowing energy sources the production will become less stable and harder to plan with the consumption. READ MORE

  6. 15. The Feasibility of Photovoltaics in Shadow Intensive Areas

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

    Author : Alexander Isakson; Tobias Tunestam; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The  shift  towards  renewable  energy  sources  is  ongoing,  and  with  scientific  advances  constantly being  made  within  the  area,  solar  panels  are  becoming  cheaper  and  more  efficient  by  the  day. Thus far, solar panels are almost exclusively being installed in areas where little to no shading is present since the shadows are a detriment to their performance. READ MORE
