  1. 1. Sustainable Production Patterns for Hydropower Units

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för fysik och elektroteknik (IFE)

    Author : Hannington Kayanja; [2023]
    Keywords : Automatic control; Hydropower modelling; PD-controller; Sustainable power production; Water level control.;

    Abstract : Globally, a significant portion of energy comes from hydropower. However, harnessing hydro energy interrupts the natural state of river flows, thus affecting the ecological processes of the surrounding communities. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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
