2. 1. Advances in Thermal Insulation : Vacuum Insulation Panels and Thermal Efficiency to Reduce Energy Usage in Buildings

   Author : Thomas Thorsell; Folke Björk; Mark Bomberg; Targo Kalamees; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vacuum insulation panels; VIP; serpentine edge; thermal bridge; composite film; gas diffusion; defect dominated; holistic approach; building enclosure; integrated testing and modeling; energy equivalent; field performance; air flow; thermal insulation efficiency;

   Abstract : We are coming to realize that there is an urgent need to reduce energy usage in buildings and it has to be done in a sustainable way. This thesis focuses on the performance of the building envelope; more precisely thermal performance of walls and super insulation material in the form of vacuum insulation. READ MORE

4. 2. Thermoplastic Insulation for High Voltage Cables

   Author : Yingwei Ouyang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; polyethylene; insulation; polypropylene; blends; thermoplastic; high voltage; polymer;

   Abstract : High voltage direct current (HVDC) cables that seamlessly integrate renewables have an important contribution to the modern world’s efforts towards a more sustainable future. Extruded HVDC cables that efficiently and reliably transport electricity require robust insulation materials with good thermomechanical and dielectric properties. READ MORE

5. 3. Building Retrofit using Vacuum Insulation Panels: Hygrothermal Performance and Durability

   Author : Pär Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laboratory; retrofitting; interior insulation; listed building; field study; exterior wall; brick wall; numerical simulation; wooden beam ends; measurement; vacuum insulation panel; transient plane heat source; exterior insulation;

   Abstract : Many old buildings have unsatisfactory thermal performance compared to the standards of today. One way to increase the thermal performance is to add thermal insulation to the building envelope. However, many old buildings are listed and considered to be valuable for historical and esthetic reasons. READ MORE

6. 4. Characterization of Conduction and Polarization Properties of HVDC Cable XLPE Insulation Materials

   Author : Hossein Ghorbani; Hans Edin; Gilbert Teyssedre; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HVDC insulation; power cable insulation; cross-linked polyethylene insulation; conductivity; dielectric losses; space charge; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : High voltage direct current (HVDC) cables with extruded insulation system were introduced in 1998. Since then this technology has been growing rapidly with many installations that are today operational at voltages up to 320 kV. READ MORE

7. 5. Voltage Stabilizers: From Design to Synthesis, Processing and Electrical Characterization

   Author : Markus Jarvid; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polyethylene; Degradation; XLPE; Electrical treeing; Voltage stabilizer; Cable; Insulation;

   Abstract : Voltage stabilizers are additives capable of inhibiting electrical treeing; a degradation mechanism for insulation materials subjected to strong divergent electric fields. The intended use is in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) high voltage power cable insulation where minute defects in the manufacturing process can give rise to the conditions needed for the initiation of treeing, which in the worst case scenario leads to failure of the insulation system with blackouts and expensive repairs as a consequence.
