The objective of this thesis has been to study how extensive current research has gone within energy harvesting and to investigate a solution for making the OLP425 (a sensor module developed by ConnectBlue AB) independent of a conventional battery as energy source, whilst staying wireless. This has been done by investigating the amounts of energy that is available from our surroundings (e.g. solar

Seriefelet i Forsmarks kärnkraftverk den 30 maj 2013 har uppmärksammat behovet av utredning kring effekterna av fasavbrott på transformatorers primärsida när sekundärsidan är lastad med olika typer av last. I Forsmark spänningssattes de bortfallna faserna bakvägen via kombinationen av transformatorer och lastobjekt i systemet så väl att underspänningsskydden inte kunde detektera felet. Reservkraft

Climate change is more evident than ever as reflected in The European union's environmental directives which say that the carbon emission must be reduced by 20% and 20% of the used energy must come from renewable energy sources until 2020. In Germany political decision has been made that the nuclear power will be replaced by renewable energy in long term. The purpose of the Master Thesis is to

is a requirement: It would be preferred that a wind turbine with a life of 20 years could repay itself for at least 10 years, if that investment wants to feel worthwhile. This is due to investment costs and annual production of the plant. However, the produced electricity, which is defined by suppliers, is not reliable.

This master thesis was carried out at Lund University in collaboration with the European Spallation Source (ESS). It brings up the question of whether it’s possible to find an optimal solution for complex power electronic topologies, using a well formulated global optimization methodology. The commercially available software tool MATLAB was adopted for these studies, including its own toolbox for

When making decisions regarding investments and planning of the distribution network, it is of great help to be able to calculate and analyze the reliability. The main interest is to study how many of the faults occur and the duration of these faults. The software Tekla NIS contains a module for calculation of the reliability of distribution systems, this is also known as reliability based network

The aim of this master thesis is to present new and well proven methods about how to best design an overview display. Since designing is a creative process and there can be many alternative designs that fulfill the same requirements, this master thesis will focus on presenting guidelines and principles that will aid in the design process. How to design an effective interface display will be discus

People spend more and more of their awaken time indoors, resulting in no or little exposure to sunlight during the day. Natural daylight is superior to artificial light concerning our biological and psychological health, and it is one of the most important external signals to the circadian system, the “wake and sleep”-clock. The objective of this thesis was to develop a luminaire which spreads sun

Your everyday milk carton is coated with thin layers of plastic to protect the carton from soaking up its liquid content and thereby ruining the carton. For more aseptic products the carton can also include a thin layer of aluminum together with a plastic film. The purpose of this project is to analyze the creation process for these thin plastic layers using a machine vision system
