  2. 21. Marginal and Virtual Water for Sustainable Water Resources Management in Syria

    Author : Khaldoon A. Mourad; Centrum för Mellanösternstudier (CMES); []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Arid and semiarid Middle Eastern countries generally, and Syria in particular, face serious water shortage problems and challenges with water sustainability. Climate change, population growth, and economic development play a major role in decreasing available water resources per capita. READ MORE

  4. 22. Design of Thermal Energy Storage with Phase Change Materials - Investigations within Material, Device and System Scale

    Author : Pepe Tan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; T-History; Phase Change Materials; Thermal Energy Storage; Experimentation;

    Abstract : The addition of a thermal energy storage (TES) into a process allows the operator to store and release thermal energy on demand. This increased process flexibility leads to potential benefits such as shifting energy demand from peak to off-peak hours. READ MORE

  5. 23. Security in Physical Distribution - Causes, mitigation measures and an investment model

    Author : Luca Urciuoli; Teknisk logistik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; security investments.; security measures in supply chains; causes of security vulnerability; antagonistic risks; security; physical distribution;

    Abstract : Recent statistics and terror events testify an increased vulnerability of distribution networks. Antagonistic threats as theft, counterfeiting, contamination and terror are burdening supply chains with unexpected costs in form of lost cargo, production downtimes, lower customer satisfaction, and higher transportation costs.

  6. 24. 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.

  7. 25. Planning for Solar Buildings in Urban Environments

    Author : Jouri Kanters; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; architecture; design tool; design process; solar energy; urban planning; photovoltaics; solar thermal; building integration; density; net zero energy buildings; interviews; parametric studies; action research;

    Abstract : Energy use in buildings accounts for a significant proportion of the total energy use in many countries. While past and current buildings have solely been energy consumers, future buildings will, besides using less energy, also need to produce (part of ) the required energy on site with renewables.
