2. 1. Travelling Business Models : On adapting business models to new contexts

   Author : Kajsa Ahlgren Ode; Innovationsteknik; []
   Keywords : affärsmodell; innovation; översättning; hållbarhet; process; solenergi; business model; innovation; translation; sustainability; process; solar energy;

   Abstract : How business models are configured can provide one solution to bringing forward sustainable innovations and transforming businesses and industries so that they become more sustainable. Creating a shift in the energy sector’s use of renewable sources is of particular importance since the energy sector is the source of one-fourth of all global greenhouse gas emissions. READ MORE

   Abstract : Fossil fuels have greatly improved human living standards and saved countless lives. However, today, their continued use threatens human survival, as CO2 levels rise at an unprecedented pace to levels never seen during human existenceon earth. READ MORE

5. 3. Power to the people : Diffusion of renewable electricity in rural areas of developing countries

   Author : Pranpreya Sriwannawit; Staffan Laestadius; Cristina Chaminade; KTH; []
   Keywords : adoption; bibliometric; developing country; diffusion; photovoltaic; renewable energy; rural electrification; solar energy; sustainable development; bibliometri; diffusion; förnybar energi; hållbar utveckling; införande; landsbygdselektrifiering; solceller; solenergi; utvecklingsland; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Engineering and Management;

   Abstract : Nearly all the 1.3 billion people in the world with no electricity access live in developing countries. On the one hand, electricity is a basic need. On the other hand, the environment should not be further damaged. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of a Novel Gas Turbine Simulator for Hybrid Solar-Brayton Systems

   Author : Tianyao Pan; Björn Laumert; Wujun Wang; Konstantinos Kyprianidis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas turbine simulator; concentrating solar power; hybrid solar-Brayton system; pressure controller; choked nozzle; Programmable logic controller; proportional solenoid valve.; Gasturbinsimulator; koncentrerad solenergi; hybrid solenergi-Brayton-system; tryckregulator; strypt munstycke; programmerbar logikkontroller; proportionell magnetventil.; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Hybrid solar-Brayton systems utilize both solar thermal energy and supplementary renewable fuels to provide controllable and dispatchable power output, which renders them a promising way to meet the growing energy demand and reduce the carbon footprints. However, existing testing facilities for key components in such hybrid systems often fail to accomplish the testing requirements, hence impeding the improvement of the renewable energy share and the overall efficiency.
