2. 1. Analysis and Forecasting of Utility-Scale Hybrid Wind and PV Power Parks

   Author : Oskar Lindberg; David Lingfors; Joakim Munkhammar; Johan Arnqvist; Jakub Jurasz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; co-located; probabilistic; forecasting; trading; wind; solar; variability; Engineering Science with specialization in Civil Engineering and Built Environment; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot byggteknik och byggd miljö;

   Abstract : The increasing share of wind and photovoltaic (PV) power in the electricity generation mix pose challenges in power system management due to their non-dispatchable and intermittent nature. Co-locating wind and PV parks, forming utility-scale hybrid power parks (HPPs), means that the sources can share grid connection, land, permitting procedures as well as operation and maintenance work.

4. 2. Solar Variability Assessment in the Built Environment : Model Development and Application to Grid Integration

   Author : David Lingfors; Joakim Widén; Jan Kleissl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solar Variability; Photovoltaics; Grid Integration; Distributed Generation; LiDAR; GIS; Engineering Science; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : During the 21st century there has been a rapid increase in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) capacity globally, due to falling system component prices and introduction of various economic incentives. To a large extent, PV systems are installed on buildings, which means they are widely distributed and located close to the power consumer, in contrast to conventional power plants. READ MORE

5. 3. Adapting sonar systems for monitoring ocean energy technologies

   Author : Francisco Francisco; Jan Sundberg; Mats Leijon; William Megill; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ocean energy; sonar systems; monitoring technologies; marine environment; wave power; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

   Abstract : The global energy sector is under profound reforms aiming towards renewable energy sources, clean technologies and expansion of smart grids, all with the additional aim of providing affordable and dependable electricity for everyone. A reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is a priority on the global agenda, and to achieve that, cleaner energy technologies has to be more integrated into the energy mix. READ MORE

6. 4. Balancing variable renewable electricity generation using combined heat and power plants, large-scale heat pumps, and thermal energy storages in Swedish district heating systems

   Author : Svante Monie; Magnus Åberg; Annica Nilsson; Joakim Widén; Magnus Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District heating systems; Power-to-Heat; Heat pumps; Combined heat and power; Thermal energy storage; Power balance; Variable renewable electricity; Biomass fuel; Engineering Science with specialization in Civil Engineering and Built Environment; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot byggteknik och byggd miljö;

   Abstract : The global ambitions to hamper the greenhouse effect has led to ambitious targets for increasing renewable energy use. This, in combination with recent years' vast development of wind and solar power, implies that there will be significant amounts of variable renewable electricity (VRE) in future energy systems.

7. 5. Simulation of historic buildings for enhancement of preservation and energy performance – issues and methods

   Author : Torun Widström; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Jesper Arfvidsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building simulation; historic buildings; energy performance; damage risk; mould; thermal bridges; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

   Abstract : Historic buildings are often particularly poorly insulated and difficult to heat, and are also at risk for several reasons. These include potential lack of use due to low thermal comfort leading to low or no profitability, damage risks due to over and under-climatization and risks due to climate change altering the boundary conditions that they were built for.
