2. 11. Wave Energy Conversion : Linear Synchronous Permanent Magnet Generator

   Author : Oskar Danielsson; Mats Leijon; Göran Engdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Engineering physics; Finite element method; linear synchronous generator; longitudinal end effect; permanent magnet; point absorber; offshore testing; wave power; Teknisk fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis studies the electric aspects of a linear synchronous permanent magnet generator. The generator is designed for use in a wave energy converter, which determines the fundamental requirements of the generator. The electromagnetic properties of the generator are investigated with a finite element based simulation tool. READ MORE

4. 12. Modelling and Experimental Verification of Direct Drive Wave Energy Conversion : Buoy-Generator Dynamics

   Author : Mikael Eriksson; Mats Leijon; Jan Isberg; Arne Wolfbrandt; Kim Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Engineering physics; Wave energy; Potential wave theory; Linear generator; Simulations; Experiments; Point absorber; FEM; Equivalent circuit theory; Teknisk fysik; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis is focused on development of models and modelling of a wave energy converter in operation. Through the thesis linear potential wave theory has been used to describe the wave-buoy interaction. The differences lie in the generator models, in the simplest model the generator is a mechanical damper characterized by a damping factor. READ MORE

5. 13. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters

   Author : Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou; Irina Temiz; Mats Leijon; Tony Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : offshore deployments; risk assessment; wave energy converter installation; marine current energy converter installation; economic efficiency; time efficiency; offshore operations; point absorber; hydrodynamic analysis; slack sling criterion; hoisting system failure.;

   Abstract : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. READ MORE

6. 14. A Right to Self-Determination and a Privilege to Independence : A Legal Assessment of the Prospects for Peace & Security in the Middle East

   Author : Marie-Hélène Boccara; Jan Klabbers; Karen Knop; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : International law; International Law; Middle East; West Bank; Self-Determination; Independence; Secession; Hohfeld; Rights; Human Rights; Democracy; Folkrätt; Folkrätt; Mellanöstern; Israel; Västbanken; Gazaremsan; Självbestämmanderätt; Privilege; Självständighet; Demokrati; Mänskliga rättigheter;

   Abstract : This thesis A Right to Self-Determination and a Privilege to Independence: A Legal Assessment of the Prospects for Peace & Security in the Middle East, deals with the concept of self-determination and its application to the Middle East conflict with the “Palestine Question” in its midst. The thesis has two parts, Part I Self-Determination: Revisited Content and New Legal Boundary and Part II The Arab-Israeli Conflict with the respective conclusions and analysis intertwined in the final Chapter 5.

7. 15. Mapping Primary Production for the West African Sahel with Satellite Data

   Author : Jonathan Seaquist; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; Sahel; CENTURY; Monte Carlo; GPP; transpiration; LUE; CLAVR; PAR; compositing; MVC; geostatistics; noise; NDVI; NOAA AVHRR; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi;

   Abstract : A light Use Efficiency (LUE) model is developed that allows the mapping of total growing season Gross Primary Production (GPP) for the West African Sahel, using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) together with other data. Image quality may be poor in monthly NDVI maximum value composites as shown by an improved geostatistical noise estimation technique. READ MORE
