  1. 1. Life cycle assessment of hybrid systems for rural electrification in Bolivia

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Sandu Seres; [2021]
    Keywords : Diesel; Stirling; Photovoltaic; impact category;

    Abstract : Bolivia is a developing country in South America. Many rural communities still lack access to electricity. The extension of the National Grid System to all rural communities is not feasible due to economic and topographic challenges as well as the environmental problems that may arise. To tackle these problems, Off-grid solutions are implemented. READ MORE

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

    Author : Niccolò Oggioni; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis presents the work performed during a four-month long internship at Azelio AB in Gothenburg. Energy performance models for common energy technologies in microgrid energy systems were developed and validated. READ MORE

  4. 3. An Investigation of Stainless Steels for Long-term Use in Liquid Sodium at up to 700°C

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Clara Bubenko; Karl Magnil; Melker Olofsson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Swedish company Azelio has developed a high-efficient Stirling engine which is powered by solar energy. Since the access of solar power is limited to day-time, Azelio has also developed their own Thermal Energy Storage (TES), which collects and stores solar energy and thereby provides the engine with energy also during night-time.

  5. 4. On the Market Potential of Modular Stirling CSP Systems With Storage in the MENA

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Youssef Benmakhlouf Andaloussi; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Given the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources, integrated storage solutions are necessary to accomplish the energy shift necessary for sustainable development. In the case of solar, PV-BESS tend to be highly capital intensive, especially for long storage hours most needed to guarantee stable electricity production day and night. READ MORE

  6. 5. Rural electrification in Bolivia through solar powered Stirling engines

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Carlos Gaitan; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study focuses on the rural areas of Bolivia. The village investigated is assumed to have 70 households and one school. Electrical supply will be covered with the help of solar powered Stirling engines. A Stirling engine is an engine with an external heat source, which could be fuel or biomass for example. READ MORE
