2. 1. Relatedness put in place : on the effects of proximity on firm performance

   Author : Lisa Östbring; Urban Lindgren; Rikard Eriksson; Thomas Brenner; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognitive proximity; labor mobility; knowledge; plant performance; relatedness; proximity dimensions; Social and Economic Geography; kulturgeografi;

   Abstract : This thesis contributes to recent theorizations in economic geography on the effects of proximity on firm competitiveness. One of the great challenge in the contemporary economy is for firms to remain competitive. Their innovative ability is highly dependent on the knowledge they possess and their ability to acquire new knowledge. READ MORE

4. 2. Steam Turbine Optimisation for Solar Thermal Power Plant Operation

   Author : James Spelling; Andrew Martin; Magnus Genrup; KTH; []
   Keywords : solar thermal power; steam-turbine; start-up; cool-down; dispatchability increase; koncentrerad solenergi; ångturbin; uppstart; nedkylning; ökad flexibilitet;

   Abstract : The provision of a sustainable energy supply is one of the most important issues facing humanity at the current time, given the strong dependence of social and economic prosperity on the availability of affordable energy and the growing environmental concerns about its production. Solar thermal power has established itself as a viable source of renewable power, capable of generating electricity at some of the most economically attractive rates. READ MORE

5. 3. Combined heat and power plant flexibility - Technical and economic potential and system interaction

   Author : Johanna Beiron; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Combined heat and power; Flexibility; Process optimization modeling; Electricity price volatility; Waste to energy; Combined cycle; District heating; Dynamic modeling;

   Abstract : The share of variable renewable energy sources in electricity generation systems is expected to increase, leading to increased variability in the load that must be provided by conventional power plants or other flexibility measures. Thus, thermal power plants need to consider implementation of technical measures that enhance flexibility; to maintain profitability of operation with increased electricity price fluctuation, and to support electricity system stability.

6. 4. A Techno-Economic Framework for the Analysis of Concentrating Solar Power Plants with Storage

   Author : Rafael Guédez; Björn Laumert; Zhor Hassar; Viktoria Martin; Alberto Traverso; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concentrating solar power; thermal energy storage; techno-economic analysis; Termisk solkraft; termisk energilagring; techno-eknomiska analys; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Concentrating solar power plants can integrate cost-effective thermal energy storage systems and thereby supply controllable power on demand, an advantage against other renewable technologies. Storage integration allows a solar thermal power plant to increase its load factor and to shift production to periods of peak demand. READ MORE

7. 5. Improving Concentrating Solar Power Plant Performance through Steam Turbine Flexibility

   Author : Monika Topel; Björn Laumert; Markus Jöcker; Magnus Genrup; Tony Arts; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concentrating Solar Power; Steam Turbines; Transients; Start-up; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : The amount of incoming solar energy to earth is greater than any other source. Among existing technologies to harness solar energy there is concentrating solar power (CSP). One advantage of CSP is that is dispatchable, meaning that it can provide power even when the sun is not shining. READ MORE
