2. 1. Agents, auctions and interactions: Modelling markets for ecosystem services and renewable energy

   Author : Liv Lundberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Market interactions; Cobweb model; Auctions for renewable energy; Environmental Policy; Renewable Energy; Payment for Ecosystem Services; Land-use competition; Bioenergy; Auctions; Agent-based modelling;

   Abstract : If we are to mitigate climate change and tackle other pressing environmental issues such as biodiversity loss, environmental policies will be crucial. The papers in this thesis all focus on how individual behaviour and lack of information affects the outcome of environmental policy, using agent-based models where individual actors and their behaviour are explicitly modelled.

4. 2. Combined Energy Systems Applied to Productive Sectors: The Case of Dairy Farms in Central Bolivia

   Author : Johnny Villarroel-Schneider; Anders Malmquist; Andrew R. Martin; Monica Odlare; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bolivia; polygeneration; trigeneration; productive sector; dairy; biogas; electricity; refrigeration; multiservice; performance; techno-economic; Bolivia; poligeneración; trigeneración; sector productivo; lechería; biogás; electricidad; refrigeración; multiservicio; eficiencia; tecno-económico; Energiteknik; Energy Technology;

   Abstract : Most energy solutions in developing countries focus primarily on solving domestic energy demands of their growing populations without due consideration of sustainable development. On the other hand, in most of these countries, a segment of energy users that has not received enough attention from governments and institutions regarding appropriate energy solutions is the productive sector.

5. 3. Modelling drivers of energy demand in the European Union building sector

   Author : Eoin Ó Broin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EU; Elasticities; Heating; Policy; Bottom-up; Top-down; Efficiency; Residential;

   Abstract : In the context of ongoing initiatives within the European Union (EU) to tackle global warming and to secure future energy supplies, the building sector is often cited as offering strong potential for energy savings. The primary aims of this thesis are to analyse the historical data related to EU building and to generate scenarios that highlight the technical and non-technical parameters that affect the energy demands (and thereby the potentials for savings) of the building sector.

6. 4. Smart control of PV and exhaust air heat pump systems in single-family buildings

   Author : Emmanouil Psimopoulos; Joakim Widén; Chris Bales; Tomas Persson; Jarek Kurnitski; Uppsala University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photovoltaics; heat pump; forecast services; thermal storage; electrical storage; control algorithms; TESHP Test av solvärmepumpsystem; TESHP Test av solvärmepumpsystem;

   Abstract : Recently, decentralized household photovoltaic (PV) systems have become more affordable and there is a tendency to decrease subsidies for the PV excess electricity fed into the grid. Therefore, there is growing interest in methods to increase the self-consumption (SC), which is the part of the electricity produced by PV and directly consumed on buildings. READ MORE

7. 5. European Energy Policy in Transition: Critical Aspects of Emissions Trading

   Author : Markus Wråke; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy policy; climate policy; carbon dioxide; climate change; emissions trading; EU ETS; efficiency; distributional effects; closures; new entrants; electricity; allocation; auctions; carbon leakage; competitiveness; peat; radiative forcing;

   Abstract : The overarching theme of the thesis is European energy and climate policy, with a particular focus on the role of emissions trading. The thesis consists of eight papers. Paper 1 outlines the origins and characteristics of the European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), launched in January 2005. READ MORE
