1. Towards sustainable energy consumption : Electricity demand flexibility and household fuel choice
Abstract : Paper [I] investigates household heterogeneity in valuing electricity contract attributes that include various load controls and information sharing to induce demand flexibility. Using a stated preference choice experiment conducted with Swedish households, this paper shows that, although a large proportion of households ask for substantial compensation, some households are willing to share their electricity consumption information and require relatively lower compensation to allow load controls.

3. On direct hydrogen fuel cell vehicles : modelling and demonstration
Abstract : In this thesis, direct hydrogen Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems in vehicles are investigated through modelling, field tests and public acceptance surveys. A computer model of a 50 kW PEM fuel cell system was developed. The fuel cell system efficiency is approximately 50% between 10 and 45% of the rated power. READ MORE

4. On Physical Relations in Driving: Judgements, Cognition and Perception
Abstract : Drivers need to make judgements of physical relationships related to driving speed, such as mean speed, risks, travel time and fuel consumption, in order to make optimal choices of vehicle speed. This is also the case for the general public, politicians and other stakeholders who are engaged in traffic issues. READ MORE

5. Two studies on fuel choice in power generation
Abstract : This dissertation consists of two studies, both related to the impacts of economic and political factors on fuel choice in electric power generation. The primary purpose of the first study is to estimate the degree of price-induced interfuel substitution between three fossil fuels in West European power generation. READ MORE
