1. A co-simulation based framework for the analysis of integrated urban energy systems : Lessons from a Swedish case study
Abstract : As major responsible for CO2 emissions, the energy sector is urgently called to take action against climatechange. The integration of renewable energy resources is a solution that, however, comes with a challenge.In fact, renewables are often variable, unpredictable and distributed. READ MORE

2. Enhanced District Heating Technology : Maintaining Future System Feasibility
Abstract : When heat demand and high temperature heat supply gradually decreases in the future, then it will effect district heating systems ability to compete on the heat market. A good way to mitigate less district heating feasibility is to operate systems with lower temperature levels and the most conceivable way to achieve lower temperature levels is to decrease return temperatures.

3. A System Perspective on Energy End-Use Measures in a District Heated Region : Renovation of Buildings and Hydronic Pavement Systems
Abstract : A district heating and cooling (DHC) system can be a viable piece of the puzzle in the efforts of reducing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Especially if the DHC system include combined heat and power (CHP) plants which enable electricity production from renewable resources. READ MORE

4. Energy Efficiency in the Residential, Service and Energy Sectors : Barriers, Drivers and System Studies
Abstract : Increased energy efficiency is a prerequisite for achieving the national energy and climate goals, the goals set by the European Union, and the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations. Close to 40% of Sweden’s total energy use and approximately 20% of domestic greenhouse gas emissions are allocated to the residential and service sector. READ MORE

5. Towards sustainable personal mobility with electric cars and buses
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to explore if, and then how, electric cars and buses can contribute to sustainable personal mobility. Electric vehicles have increasingly been seen as a potential sustainable solution for the transport sector due to their high energy efficiency, close to zero emissions in the use phase, and the possibility to be powered by electricity from renewable resources.
