2. 1. Distributed Resources in a Re-Regulated Market Environment

   Author : Thomas Ackermann; KTH; []
   Keywords : Distributed Generation; Electricity Markets; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses the value that distributed resources(DR) can contribute to an economically effcient operation of are-regulated electricity market and discusses the relevantchanges in the regulatory framework to allow the appropriatedevelopment of DR whenever DR may increase the economiceffciency of the electricity market. Distributed resources thereby combine two aspects:Distributed generation and demand-side resources. READ MORE

4. 2. Combined solar and pellet heating systems for single-family houses : How to achieve decreased electricity usage, increased system efficiency and increased solar gains

   Author : Tomas Persson; Per Lundqvist; Simon Furbo; Högskolan Dalarna; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pellet; pelleteldning; kamin; panna; solvärmesystem; varmvattenberedning; systemutformning; småhus; elbesparing; verkningsgrad; emissioner; rökgasförluster; skorstensförlust; diskmaskin; tvättmaskin; Thermal energy engineering;

   Abstract : In Sweden, there are about 0.5 million single-family houses that are heated by electricity alone, and rising electricity costs force the conversion to other heating sources such as heat pumps and wood pellet heating systems. Pellet heating systems for single-family houses are currently a strongly growing market. READ MORE

6. 4. Advancing the state of geospatial electrification modelling: New data, methods, applications, insight and electrification investment outlooks

   Author : Alexandros Korkovelos; Viktoria Martin; Mark I. Howells; Francesco Fuso Nerini; Hans-Holger Rogner; Ed Brown; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract :  I skrivande stund uppskattas 860 miljoner människor globalt sakna tillgång till el. Målet att uppnå universal tillgång till el under det kommande decenniet – i enlighet med mål 7 av de globala målen för hållbar utveckling (SDG 7) – indikerar att många länder snart kommer att behöva införa riktlinjer, handlingsplaner och policys för att påskynda elektrifieringstakten.
