  1. 1. Oscillations in a complex sunspot: From theory to data

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Femke Kranenbarg; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sunspot oscillations, intricate three-dimensional wave-like motions in the solar atmosphere, result from the complex interplay between plasma and magnetic fields. This study delves into the behaviour of these oscillations, exploring their simultaneous excitation and evaluating their impact on solar phenomena like coronal heating, energy transport, and solar flares.

  3. 2. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE

  4. 3. Definition and evaluation of a system for measuring local geomagnetic variations : Autonomous station for magnetic measurements

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

    Author : Viktor Olsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Local Geomagnetic Variations; Fluxgate Magnetometer; Space Weather; Solar Wind; Magnetic Measurements; Variometer; Solar Activity.; Lokala geomagnetiska variationer; Fluxgate-Magnetometer; Rymdväder; Solvinden; Magnetiska Mätningar; Variometer; Solaktivitet.;

    Abstract : Earth is under constant influence of the Sun and phenomena driven by the solar wind that may affect man-made technology. These events are summarized under the concept of space weather. This creates variations in Earth’s magnetic field and nearby space. Space weather can affect power grids, gas pipelines and also have effects on human health. READ MORE

  5. 4. A coupling method using CFD, radiative models and a surface model to simulate the micro-climate

    University essay from KTH/Teknisk mekanik

    Author : Joseph Vernier; [2023]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Dynamics; Fluid Mechanics; Numerics; Micro-climate modeling; Radiation; Crop modeling; Photovoltaic panels;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for energy, depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and greenhouse gas emissions have stimulated the need for widespread development and adoption of renewable energy sources (RES) worldwide. Among these sources, solar energy has emerged as a major contender to meet the growing demand. READ MORE

  6. 5. Identifying Fundamental Characteristics of Shock Nonstationarity using MMS Measurements : Identifying and Distinguishing Non-stationary Behaviour Through the Magnetic Field Gradient in Quasi-perpendicular Shocks

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

    Author : Hannah Wik; [2023]
    Keywords : Space; Space Plasma Physics; Collisionless Shocks; MMS; Non-stationarity; Shock Reformation; Rippling; Bow Shock; Solar Wind; Rymd; Rymdfysik; Kollisionsfria chocker; MMS; Icke-stationär; Reformation; Bogchock; Solvind;

    Abstract : Collisionless shocks are widespread phenomena in the universe, and understanding the mechanisms behind their energy dissipation, with a rare number of collisions between particles, remains a significant unresolved question. The Earth’s bow shock provides an excellent opportunity to study this phenomena in situ. READ MORE
