2. 1. Energy Savings Using a Direct Current Distribution Network in a PV and Battery Equipped Residential Building

   Author : Patrik Ollas; Caroline Markusson; Mattias Persson; Torbjörn Thiringer; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; RISE; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Direct-Current Distribution; Residential Buildings; Battery Energy Storage System; Battery Modeling; Solar Photovoltaic System; System Performance; Energy Efficiency; Energy Savings; PV Utilisation;

   Abstract : Energy from solar photovoltaic (PV) are generated as direct current (DC) and almost all of today’s electrical loads in residential buildings, household appliances and HVAC system (Heating Ventilation and Air-conditioning) are operated on DC. For a conventional alternating current (AC) distribution system this requires the need for multiple conversion steps before the final user-stage. READ MORE

4. 2. Energy Harvesting and Energy Storage for Wireless and Less-Wired Sensors in Harsh Environments

   Author : Elof Köhler; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piezoelectric; coupled harvester; Thermoelectric; harsh environment; piezoelectric harvester; Energy harvester; supercapacitor; Thermoelectric harvester;

   Abstract : Engineering requires sensors to control and understand the environment. This is particularly important in harsh environments. The drawbacks, especially in gas turbines is the complexity of installing a wired sensor and the weight of the wires. This makes wireless sensors attractive. READ MORE

5. 3. Integrated Community Energy Systems

   Author : Binod Prasad Koirala; Mehrdad Ghandari; Rudi A. Hakvoort; Reinier Van der Veen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Distributed energy resources; community energy; local energy systems; institutional design; smart grids; energy system integration; community engagement; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Energy systems across the globe are going through a radical transformation as a result of technological and institutional changes, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and climate change. Accordingly, local energy initiatives are emerging and increasing number of the business models are focusing on the end-users. READ MORE

6. 4. Ocean Wave Energy : Underwater Substation System for Wave Energy Converters

   Author : Magnus Rahm; Mats Leijon; Ted Brekken; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave energy; wave power; wave energy converter; direct-drive; permanent magnet linear generator; point absorber; array; farm; park; offshore; marine; substation; electrical transmission system; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with a system for operation of directly driven offshore wave energy converters. The work that has been carried out includes laboratory testing of a permanent magnet linear generator, wave energy converter mechanical design and offshore testing, and finally design, implementation, and offshore testing of an underwater collector substation.

7. 5. Optimal Energy Scheduling of Grid-connected Microgrids with Battery Energy Storage

   Author : Kyriaki Antoniadou-Plytaria; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy management; Battery energy storage; distribution network; optimization; energy scheduling; microgrids;

   Abstract : The coupling of small-scale renewable-based energy sources, such as photovoltaic systems, with residential battery energy storages forms clusters of local energy resources and customers, which can be represented as controllable entities to the main distribution grid. The operation of these clusters is similar to that of grid-connected microgrids. READ MORE
