  2. 1. Navigating Female Power : (De-) Constructing the Space of the Immortal Threat in Homer’s Odyssey

    Author : Paulina Partanen; Gabriella Beer; Jörgen Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Homer; Odyssey; Queer; Queer theory; Power; Space; Spatial analysis; Sexuality; Gender; Judith Butler; Jack Halberstam; Kim Knott; Circe; Calypso; Sirens; Scylla; Charybdis; Greek Myth; Monster.; Religionshistoria; History of Religions;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study is to locate spatial manifestations of power, and acts of agency, by conducting a subversive reading of the female immortal threats in Homer’s Odyssey. With an aim to question preconceived notions on sexuality, gender and power, I draw on the theoretical perspectives of gender theorists J. Butler and J. READ MORE

  4. 2. A Stochastic Control Approach to Include Transfer Limits in Power System Operation

    Author : Magnus Perninge; Lennart Söder; Christopher DeMarco; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Frequency control; power regulating market; power system operation; power system security; stochastic impulse control; transfer capacity; transfer limit;

    Abstract : The main function of the power grid is to transfer electric energy from generating facilities to consumers. To have a reliable and economical supply of electricity, large amounts of electric energy often have to be transferred over long distances. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hydropower generator and power system interaction

    Author : Johan Bladh; Urban Lundin; Rafael Escarela-Perez; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Amortisseur windings; applied voltage test; automatic voltage regulators; damper windings; damping torque; empirical modelling; equivalent circuits; excitation control; finite element method; hydropower generators; power system restoration; power system stability; synchronous machines; self excitation; shaft torque amplification; short circuit test; single machine infinite bus; slip test; standstill frequency response test; subsynchronous oscillations; synchronising torque; synchronous generators; torsional interaction.; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : After decades of routine operation, the hydropower industry faces new challenges. Large-scale integration of other renewable sources of generation in the power system accentuates the role of hydropower as a regulating resource. READ MORE

  6. 4. Optimal regulating power market bidding strategies in hydropower systems

    Author : Magnus Olsson; Lennart Söder; Terje Gjengedal; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electricity market; stochastic optimization; bidding strategy; time series analysis; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Unforeseen changes in production or consumption in power systems lead to changes in grid frequency. This can cause damages to the system, or to frequency sensitive equipment at the consumers. The system operator (SO) is the responsible for balancing production and consumption in the system.

  7. 5. The Politics of People - Not Just Mangroves and Monkeys : A study of the theory and practice of community-based management of natural resources in Zanzibar

    Author : Fred Saunders; Björn Hassler; Vesa-Matti Loiske; Frances Cleaver; Södertörns högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Actor-oriented theory; CBNRM; Community conservation; Conservation conflict; CPR theory; Environmental science; ICDP; Institutional theory; Mangroves; Participatory governance; Power; Zanzibar;

    Abstract : Community-based management of natural resource (CBNRM) projects have commonly failed to deliver conservation and development benefits. This thesis examined how the theoretical assumptions of common pool resource (CPR) theory have contributed to the indifferent performance of CBNRM projects. READ MORE
