Investigation of Spent Nuclear Fuel Pool Coolability
The natural catastrophe at Fukushima Dai-ichi 2011 enlightened the nuclear community. This study reveals the non-negligible risks regarding the short term storage of Continue reading
Analysis of Boiling Water Reactor Design and Operating Conditions Effect on Stability Behaviour
It is well known that boiling water reactors can experience inadvertent power oscillations. When such instability occurs the core can oscillate in two different modes (in phase mode and out of phase mode). In the late 90’s a stability benchmark was created using Continue reading
Ecological and Exergetic Analysis of Hydrogen Production in a Sugar-Ethanol Plant
This work aims an ecological and exergetic analysis of the hydrogen production by steam reforming of part of the ethanol produced in a sugar-ethanol plant. The Pioneiros Distillery, located in São Paulo, is used as Continue reading
Assessing and Predicting the Impact of Energy Conservation Measures Using Smart Meter Data
Buildings account for around 40 percent of the primary energy consumption in Europe and in the United States. They also hold tremendous energy savings potential: 15 to 29 percent by 2020 for the European building stock according to Continue reading
Feasibility Study of a Virtualpower Plant for Ludvika
This thesis is a feasibility study of a virtual power plant (VPP) in central Sweden and part of a project with InnoEnergy Instinct and STRI. The VPP consists of a wind park, small hydro plant as well as Continue reading
Strategies for Co-operated Wood Chip Fired and Municipal Waste Fired Combined Heat and Power Plants
The Brista 1 plant is a wood chip-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant located near Märsta, northwest of Stockholm, Sweden. The primary purpose of the plant is to Continue reading
Energy Density and Volume Expansion in Solid-Liquid Phase Change, for Energy Applications
Phase change materials (PCMs) have long been studied as thermal energy storage media. However, the Swedish company, Exencotech AB, reaching beyond this usual Continue reading
Value-Cost Appraisal of Wind Energy Applying Portfolio Analysis
To meet electricity demand, electric utilities develop portfolio strategies for generation, transmission, and distributions Continue reading
Power Generation from Railway Track
An electrical power generation system comprises a variable capacitor and a power source. The electrical power generation system is configured to generate electric power via movements of the rail. The power source is used in the form of a generator to Continue reading
