  1. 1. Colliding interests: Examining Sami rights amidst the green transition - A comparative study of the Norwegian and Swedish Sami communities’ power in wind turbine licensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Linn Lyckdal; Karin Ehn Magnusson; [2023]
    Keywords : Green transition; Indigenous rights; Norway; Power; Robert Dahl; Sami community; Sweden; Wind power.; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : This thesis is a comparative case study of the Norwegian and Swedish Sami communities' power in the licensing process for wind turbines on their land. The study aims to identify the Norwegian and Swedish Sami communities' power and whether it differs between the two countries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

  4. 3. Powering up profits - Integrating Power Purchase Agreements and Battery Systems for Nordic Power Futures

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : William Thorwaldson; Ellen Jinglöv; [2023]
    Keywords : Power Purchase Agreements; Financial Power Trading; Battery Energy Storage Systems; Power Futures; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spikes. The research adopted a mixed-method approach by combining quantitative analysis with qualitative findings. READ MORE

  5. 4. Future land use and the pre-emption of conflicts

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

    Author : Åsa Lindh; [2022]
    Keywords : Land use; land use planning; national interests; nature with legal personhood; conflict management; conflict pre-emption; wind power; energy landscapes; indigenous knowledge; environmental science; environmental law; environmental ethics and jurisprudence; sustainability; innovation theory;

    Abstract : As the title presents, this thesis will explore the area of land use, and in this context, planning for managing potential conflicts that occur today and are likely to continue to arise in the future.  To assist with a potential solution, the concepts of ‘nature with legal person hood’, and ‘national interests’ (‘riksintressen’) falling under Swedish environmental law, will be the focus.

  6. 5. Mitigating SSCI in a hybrid wind and PV farm utilizing PV-STATCOM : A Swedish case study

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Isabelle Löfgren; [2022]
    Keywords : impedance analysis; PV-STATCOM; SSCI; SSO; SSR; sub-synchronous control interaction;

    Abstract : The share of electricity generation in the power system being based on power electronics is increasing, which will impact the system in different ways, such as an increased risk for undesired interactions. An example is doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based windfarms which have been shown to present negative resistance in (parts of) the sub-synchronous range (i. READ MORE
