  1. 6. The Effectiveness of Policy-Relevant Science at the Interface of Climate Science and Policy - A Case Study of the WASP Science-for-Adaptation Policy Briefs (SAPBs)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Mikaela Behrens; [2022]
    Keywords : policy-relevant science; effectiveness; policymaking; science-policy interface; climate adaptation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Scientific information is playing an important role in policymaking on climate adaptation by providing insight and guidance on efforts needed to reduce risks, respond to impacts, and build resilience. However, the extent to which science is influencing policy is questioned, as efforts being made are not reflecting efforts needed. READ MORE

  3. 7. COMPARISON OF THE WIND POWER PRODUCTION MODELS IN THE BALTIC SEA, A CASE STUDY IN THE LILLGRUND OFFSHORE WIND FARM

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Zhenyu Liu; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wind energy, which is no emission of greenhouse gases, is attracting increasing attention world widely. Compared to onshore wind farms, offshore wind farms can yield greater power production since the wind speeds over the sea are higher and steadier than those over the land. READ MORE

  4. 8. Climate driven variability of wind energy over Europe

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Kévin Walcarius; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the following report, two methods of wind downscalling are applied to reanalysed 10-m wind speed data from the ERA5 reanalysis of ECMWF, in order to derive wind speed data from 01/01/1979 till 31/12/2019 at the location of onshore wind farms from the ”World Wind Farm Database”.  Being unable to use complex downscalling methods such as Generalisation (WAsP method- ology) nor Kriging interpolation, the study has been restricted to simple downscalling methods.

  5. 9. The Inclusion of Stratification in Wind Analysis; A New Linearized Code

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Roland Nyberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Wind Energy; Stratification; Speed-up effect; Monin-Obukhov similarity theory; Vindenergy; Stratifikation; Speed-up effekt; Monin-Obukhov teori;

    Abstract : Wind energy is rapidly growing around the world as non-renewable energy sources are being phased out. To maximize the energy production, it is crucial to construct new wind turbines at locations where the average wind speed is high. An accurate wind assessment of a new potential site is thus essential in the development of new wind farms. READ MORE

  6. 10. The autonomous crewmate : A sociotechnical perspective to implementation of autonomous vehicles in sea rescue

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Interaktiva och kognitiva system

    Author : Oscar Lundblad; [2020]
    Keywords : Human autonomy collaboration; Public safety; Sea rescue; SSRS; Emergency services; Autonomous vehicles; Unmanned aerial vehicle; Unmanned Surface Vehicle; uav; usv; SAR; Human machine interaction; HMI; Sociotechnical systems; cognitive work analysis; CWA; sociotechnical perspective; implementation; drone; quadcopter; boat; rescue at sea; case; novel technology; appropriate technology; thematic analysis; WASP; Wallenberg Artificial Intelligence Autonomous Systems and Software Program; Maritime; swedish sea rescue; uxv;

    Abstract : The usage of autonomous vehicles is starting to appear in several different domains and the domain of public safety is no exception. Wallenberg Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) has created a research arena for public safety (WARA-PS) to explore experimental features, usages, and implementation of autonomous vehicles within the domain of public safety.
