  1. 1. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

  6. 5. Litteraturstudie - Energieffektivisering av livsmedelsbutiker genom nyttjande av överskottsvärme

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

    Author : Christ Asadour; Teodor Nymark; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Generellt sett har livsmedelsbutiker ett stort behov av enrgi i form av el, värme, komfortkyla och livsmedelskyla. Livsmedelsbutikers höga elanvändning utgör 3% av Sveriges totala elanvändning. En betydande del av elanvändningen går till kylsystem och genererar på så vis överskottsvärme från kondensorn som ofta slösas bort. READ MORE
