21. On the Design of Ultra-fast Electro-Mechanical Actuators
Abstract : The continuously increasing demand for connecting electric grids with remote renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic cells has rekindled interest in high voltage direct current (HVDC) multi-terminal networks. Although HVDC networks have numerous benefits, their adoption relies entirely on the availability of HVDC circuit breakers which, compared to traditional alternating current circuit breakers, have to operate in a time frame of milliseconds.

23. Synthesis and Characterization of Composite Materials for Thermoelectric Power Generation
Abstract : In a thermoelectric material, a temperature difference will give rise to an electric potential that is proportional to the temperature gradient. In a closed circuit, this potential can keep a current flowing as long as the temperature gradient is maintained. READ MORE

24. Active friction control by using CO2 and moisture
Abstract : Nowadays the demand for intelligent control of tribological interactions is strongly increasing in various applications. We often strive to minimize friction but there are also many situations where high friction is desirable. In some cases, something in between, i.e. READ MORE

25. Studies on Current Commutation in Hybrid DC-breakers
Abstract : Compared to conventional AC-circuit breakers, a DC-breaker has to act fast and force the current down to zero. Many different DC-breaker topologies are available, and this thesis is focused on the hybrid DC-breaker comprising a mechanical switch and high power semiconductors. READ MORE
