  2. 21. The role of Swedish single-family dwellings in the electricity system - The importance and impacts of solar photovoltaics, demand response, and energy storage

    Author : Emil Nyholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electricity system models; Electric space heating; Batteries; Demand response; Single-family dwellings; Demand side management; Optimization; Solar photovoltaics; Distributed generation;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the role Swedish single-family dwellings can play in the electricity system. Both through becoming electricity producers through the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the possibilities of demand response (DR) and energy storage in combination with this, and through the DR of electric space heating in the dwellings.

  4. 22. Exploring low-carbon development pathways for Bolivia - A model-based analysis focused on the energy sector

    Author : Jenny Gabriela Peña Balderrama; Viktoria Martin; Mark I. Howells; Dilip Khatiwada; Francesco Gardumi; Pachauri Shonali; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Decarbonization; Sustainability; Techno-economic analysis; Bolivia; Energy access; Energy security; Systems analysis; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : Global emissions have continued to rise steadily at levels exceeding the 1.5°C climate stabilization target. Therefore, the increase in the average global temperature and climate change will be determined by how we handle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over the next years. READ MORE

  5. 23. District heat production under different environmental and social cost scenarios

    Author : Nguyen Le Truong; Leif Gustavsson; André Faaij; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; district heat production; primary energy use; minimum-cost system; co-production;

    Abstract : District heat production systems (DHSs) are normally designed to meet the heat demand of customers at a minimum cost whilst fulfilling local and national regulations. Various factors influence the choice of district heat production units in a minimum-cost system. READ MORE

  6. 24. Formal and Informal Regulations: Enforcement and Compliance

    Author : Clara Villegas Palacio; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; technological adoption; environmental policy; imperfect compliance; enforcement; disclosure; image motivation; public goods experiment targeted enforcement; Conditional cooperation; experiment; public goods; social group;

    Abstract : The question I address in the thesis is how cooperation in social dilemma situations and compliance with environmental regulations are determined by legal enforcement, intrinsic motivations and culture. In light of this, the thesis consists of five independent chapters. READ MORE

  7. 25. The economics of residual waste : policies, price discrimination, and welfare

    Author : Sef Meens-Eriksson; David Granlund; Runar Brännlund; Thomas Broberg; Raymond Gradus; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Waste economics; net social cost analysis; waste incineration; municipal waste policy; waste taxes; price discrimination; spatial competition; welfare effects; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Paper [I]: In this study, a net social cost framework is applied to provide insights on policy issues relating to the cross-border trade in waste fuel. We estimate the net social cost of using imported waste fuel in a highly efficient combined heat and power plant (CHP) in a cold climate by considering both private costs and benefits as well as external costs related to energy production, alternative waste management and fuel transport.
