  4. 2. Dynamic Rating with Applications to Renewable Energy

    Author : Kateryna Morozovska; Patrik Hilber; Tor Laneryd; Hans Ezz Edin; Adamantios Marinakis; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic rating; dynamic line rating; dynamic transformer rating; power transformers; power system optimization; wind farm planning; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Dynamic rating (DR) of power components is a method for assessing real-time capacity of large scale power transmission and distribution devices (commonly: transmission lines, power transformers, underground cables) and using this knowledge for adjusting loading limits of these components. Dynamic rating of power lines or dynamic line rating (DLR) is a pioneering technology in the area of dynamic rating.

  5. 3. Essays on Credit Ratings

    Author : Anamaria Cociorva; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; credit ratings; financial constraints; bond index; credit rating standards; rating conservatism; time variation in credit ratings; secular trends; Credit Rating Agencies;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of four self-contained articles, all of which contribute to the empirical research on credit ratings. Broadly speaking, the first two papers highlight two less ordinary “uses” of credit ratings, in the context of (1) measuring financial constraints and (2) bond market segmentation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Dynamic Rating of Power Lines and Transformers for Wind Energy Integration

    Author : Kateryna Morozovska; Patrik Hilber; Rajeev Thottappillil; Rebei Bel Fdhila; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamic line rating; dynamic transformer rating; power transformers; heat balance; thermal modeling; wind power; wind energy integration; reliability analysis; risk analysis; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Dynamic Rating (DR) is usually associated with unlocking the capacity of power lines and transformers using available information on weather conditions. Our studies show that Dynamic Rating is a broad concept that requires further study and development. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling rating curves from close-range remote sensing data : Application of laser and acoustic ranging instruments for capturing stream channel topography

    Author : Norris Lam; Steve W. Lyon; Jason W. Kean; Ida Westerberg; Helle Skånes; James Brasington; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; laser scanning; acoustic Doppler current profiler; hydraulic modeling; rating curves; Sweden; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : A rating curve provides a functional relationship between water height (i.e. stage) and discharge at a specified cross-section in a river. Used in combination with a time series of stage, rating curves become one of the central components for generating continuous records of streamflow. READ MORE
