  2. 1. Coordinated control of Multi-Stage Inventory System

    Author : Johan Marklund; Produktionsekonomi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Inventory systems; multi-echelon; stochastic; decentralization; centralized control; distribution system; divergent system; echelon-stock; installation-stock.;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on three scientific papers dealing with different models for coordinated control of multi-stage inventory systems. The ability to control multi-echelon inventory systems, is paramount for reducing tied up capital and inventory costs in large distribution systems. READ MORE

  4. 2. ZrN Back-Contact Reflectors and Ga Gradients in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 Solar Cells

    Author : Sebastian Michael Schleussner; Marika Edoff; Tobias Törndahl; Uwe Zimmermann; Dieter Schmid; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Solar cells; CIGS; ZrN; three-stage process; multi-stage process; grading; SIMS; electrical modelling; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektronik; Engineering Science with specialization in Electronics;

    Abstract : Solar cells constitute the most direct way of converting solar energy to electricity, and thin-film solar-cell technologies have lately been growing in importance, allowing the fabrication of less expensive modules that nonetheless have good power-conversion efficiencies. This thesis focuses on solar cells based on Cu(In,Ga)Se2, which is the thin-film technology that has shown the highest conversion efficiency to date, reaching 20. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advanced Gasification of Biomass/Waste for Substitution of Fossil Fuels in Steel Industry Heat Treatment Furnaces

    Author : Duleeka Gunarathne; Weihong Yang; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass; Pretreatment; Gasification; Pressure drop; Steel industry; Fuel switch; Energy efficiency; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : With the current trend of CO2 mitigation in process industries, the primary goal of this thesis is to promote biomass as an energy and reduction agent source to substitute fossil sources in the steel industry. The criteria for this substitution are that the steel process retains the same function and the integrated energy efficiency is as high as possible. READ MORE

  6. 4. Finite Element Analysis of Sheet Metal Assemblies : Prediction of Product Performance Considering the Manufacturing Process

    Author : Alexander Govik; Larsgunnar Nilsson; Ramin Moshfegh; Mats Oldenburg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the development of methodologies to be used to simulate complete manufacturing chains of sheet components and the study of how different mechanical properties propagate and influence succeeding component performance.Since sheet metal assemblies are a major constituent of a wide range of products it is vital to develop methodologies that enable detailed evaluation of assembly designs and manufacturing processes.

  7. 5. Strategies, Methods and Tools for Solving Long-term Transmission Expansion Planning in Large-scale Power Systems

    Author : Desta Zahlay Fitiwi; Lennart Söder; Michel Rivier; Fernando de Cuadra; Andres Ramos; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transmission expansion planning; uncertainty and variability; optimization; stochastic programming; moments technique; clustering; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Driven by a number of factors, the electric power industry is expected to undergo a paradigm shift with a considerably increased level of variable energy sources. A significant integration of such sources requires heavy transmission investments over geographically wide and large-scale networks. READ MORE
