  2. 1. Offshore renewable energy systems : Quantification of extreme loads using computational methods

    Author : Eirini Katsidoniotaki; Malin Göteman; Alison Raby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; offshore systems; wave energy; CFD; extreme events; machine learning; Bayesian experimental design; active learning; surrogate modeling;

    Abstract : This Ph.D. thesis investigates the dynamic response of offshore energy systems in extreme waves. The use of offshore energy technologies, such as wave energy systems and offshore wind turbines, is crucial for transitioning to clean energy and mitigating the effects of climate change. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sunrise of an Industry : Solar Energy under Financial and Industrial Capitalism in the U.S. and Japan, 1973 - 2005

    Author : Max Jerneck; Sociologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Climate Change; Solar Energy; Photovoltaics; Sustainable Transition; Innovation; Industrial Development; Financialization;

    Abstract : The thesis addresses the question of how to mitigate climate change by studying the emergence of solar photovoltaic energy as an example of a low carbon industry. By outlining the social conditions behind the growth of that industry, I aim to further the understanding of low carbon industrial development in general. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of biogeophysical feedbacks and their impacts in the arctic and boreal climate system

    Author : Wenxin Zhang; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic and boreal vegetation change; Biogeophysical feedbacks; Albedo; Latent heat; Carbon budget; Representative concentration pathways; Eearth system model; LPJ-GUESS; RCA; Sea ice;

    Abstract : The physical environment in the northern high latitudes including the Arctic cryosphere has undergone dramatic changes due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas warming, which since pre-industrial times has been twice or more the rate of global mean warming. Global climate models predict that this accelerated warming will continue for at least the next few decades. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development and performance evaluation of accident-tolerant coated fuel claddings for light water reactors

    Author : Andrea Fazi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PVD; oxidation; accident tolerant fuel; autoclave; cold spray; nitride coatings; Cr coating;

    Abstract : The development of accident tolerant fuel has the aim of providing nuclear fuels able to endure severe accident conditions. Research in this field has also sparked a wave of material renewal in the nuclear industry that had been delayed for the last few decades. READ MORE

  7. 5. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters

    Author : Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou; Irina Temiz; Mats Leijon; Tony Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : offshore deployments; risk assessment; wave energy converter installation; marine current energy converter installation; economic efficiency; time efficiency; offshore operations; point absorber; hydrodynamic analysis; slack sling criterion; hoisting system failure.;

    Abstract : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. READ MORE
