  1. 1. INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY AND THE POLICIES FOR WIND POWER REPOWERING IN SWEDISH MUNICIPALITIES

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Samuel Roško; [2023]
    Keywords : wind power; full repowering; onshore wind; economic feasibility; financial viability; WindPro; municipal policy; comprehensive plans; Swedish municipalities; case studies; AEP; noise; shadow;

    Abstract : Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system includes deploying renewables such as wind power, which has been installed in Sweden since the 1980s. After a 20 to 25-year lifetime, a wind turbine´s end-of-life options come into play, therefore many of the turbines deployed in Sweden prior to 2011 will reach this mark by 2035. READ MORE

  3. 2. Optimization of Grid Connection Capacity for Onshore Wind Farms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Patrik Wall; [2022]
    Keywords : icing; optimization; grid capacity; full-performance; power curve; Monte Carlo; Markov chain;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates if the profitability of a wind farm can be increased by reducing itscontracted grid capacity. Two years of SCADA data is cleaned from non- and partialperformance which is used to estimate a wake reduced annual power time series. READ MORE

  4. 3. When a natural disaster occurs during a conflict – Catalyst or obstacle for peace? : A comparative case study of the insurgency in Aceh, Indonesia and the Sri Lankan civil war in relation to the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teologiska institutionen

    Author : Joanne van der Vlist; [2020]
    Keywords : Indian Ocean tsunami 2004; Aceh; Indonesia; Free Aceh Movement; Gerakan Aceh Merdeka GAM ; Sri Lanka; Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam LTTE ; Tamil Tigers; civil war; peace; rational choice theory RCT ;

    Abstract : Superficial information of the civil wars in Aceh, Indonesia and Sri Lanka creates the idea that both conflicts were in similar situations when they were hit by the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004. It thus seems surprising that in the wake of the tsunami, the Free Aceh Movement and the Government of Indonesia signed a peace agreement, while the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and the Government of Sri Lanka returned to war.

  5. 4. INVESTIGATION INTO THE POTENTIAL OF ENERGY PRODUCTION FROM VEHICULAR MOTION INDUCED AIR FLOW IN MALAYSIA

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jazeel Eramakkaveettil Puthiyakath; [2020]
    Keywords : wind power; vehicle induced turbulences; urban wind power generation;

    Abstract : With the rise in energy consumption and usage by an exploding human population and higher quality of life, it is time to switch to renewable energy sources that have lower impacts on the natural world. Commercial scale wind power has seen tremendous growth in the last two decades and is expected to continue growing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Marianne Löwgren; [2019]
    Keywords : Energy poverty; Solid biomass fuels; Improved cooking stoves; Indoor air pollution; Carbon monoxide; Vernacular architecture; Passive ventilation; Air exchange rate; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Operative temperature; Sustainable societal development; Social Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. READ MORE
