5. 3. Kinetic investigations of combustion of small oxygenated aliphatic hydrocarbons – modeling and experiments

   Author : Gianluca Capriolo; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kinetic modelling; Nitric Oxide; n-propanol; i-propanol; propanal; LIF; Fysicumarkivet A:2020:Capriolo;

   Abstract : The depletion of oil reserves and the increasingly stringent European Union regulation of air pollution have forced researchers and manufacturers to search for cleaner and sustainable substitutes to petroleum‐based transportation fuels. Biofuels like small aliphatic alcohols are of increasing interest as alternatives to fossil fuels, as they offer long‐term fuel‐source regenerability. READ MORE

6. 4. Effects of contrasting types of marine protected areas on seagrass- and coral communities : are community-based reserves an important complement to government-managed protected areas?

   Author : Angelica Chirico; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Coastal ecosystems, including seagrass beds and coral reefs, are among the most ecological and economical important ecosystems on Earth. At the same time as these ecosystems support livelihoods of coastal communities they are being highly degraded worldwide. READ MORE

7. 5. Fundamental Control Performance Limitations for Interarea Oscillation Damping and Frequency Stability

   Author : Joakim Björk; Karl H. Johansson; Lennart Harnefors; Joe H. Chow; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Power system control; HVDC transmission control; interarea oscillations; power oscillation damping; small-signal stability; fundamental control limitations; frequency stability; hydro power; wind power; non-minimum phase; zero dynamics; eigenvalue analysis; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : With the transition towards renewable energy and the deregulation of the electricity markets, the power system is changing. Growing electricity demand and more intermittent power production increase the need for transfer capacity. Lower inertia levels due to a higher share of renewables increase the need for fast frequency reserves (FFR). READ MORE
