  2. 1. Municipal Energy Planning : Scope and Method Development

    Author : Jenny Stenlund Nilsson Ivner; Olof Hjelm; Lena Neij; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy planning; energy systems; environmental assessment; decision-making; participation; Other industrial engineering and economics; Övrig industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract : Swedish municipalities are required to produce a municipal energy plan for their energy supply and use. Whether energy planning is suitable to manage local energy systems, however, is subject to debate. This thesis maps municipal energy planning: the scopes of energy plans and whether goals stated in energy plans are fulfilled. READ MORE

    Abstract : In many developing tropical countries, rapid urban growth leads to several problems, including increased thermal stress. This has negative consequences for people's health and well-being, and affects social and commercial outdoor activities negatively. READ MORE

  7. 5. Efficient reduction techniques for a large-scale Transmission Expansion Planning problem

    Author : Quentin Ploussard; Luis Olmos; Andres Ramos; Efraim Centeno; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy; electricity; transmission expansion planning; linear programming; integer linear programming; relaxation methods; clustering; dimension reduction; network theory graphs ; partitioning algorithms; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The aim of Transmission Expansion Planning (TEP) studies is to decide which, where, and when new grid elements should be built in order to minimize the total system cost. The lumpiness of the investment decisions, together with the large size of the problem, make the problem very hard to solve. READ MORE
