Net Zero Energy Buildings, Net ZEBs, is one of many necessary measures for climate change mitigation as they may reduce the energy consumption in the building sector. The Net ZEB interacts with a grid infrastructure. It is therefore important to consider the interaction with the grid in the design phase. This paper reports an evaluation of a proposed design of a Net ZEB in the south of Sweden eva
With the growing integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid, new challenges for system stability have emerged. To address this, the European Union has introduced a regulation called Requirements for Generators (RfG). This regulation sets specific performance standards, one of which is a minimum critical clearing time related to faults. Some production facilities with low inertial
The interest in self-consumption of PV electricity from grid-connected residential systems is increasing among PV system owners and in the scientific community. Self-consumption can be defined as the share of the total PV production directly consumed by the PV system owner. With decreased subsidies for PV electricity in several countries, increased self-consumption could raise the profit of PV sys
Reciprocating compressors hold great promise for enhanced efficiency across a wide variety of microscale and macroscale systems. This article investigates the potential of isothermal compression strategies by introducing two modeling approaches for the time-dependent analysis of reciprocating compressors. First, a thermodynamic model is developed based on conservation of mass and energy for a cran
MXenes are technologically interesting 2D materials that show potential in numerous applications. The properties of the MXenes depend at large extent on the selection of elements that build the 2D MX-layer. Another key parameter for tuning the attractive material properties is the species that terminate the surfaces of the MX-layers. Although being an important parameter, experimental studies on t
European Spallation Source ESS will have the most powerful neutron source in the world. The research facility is currently being built in north-east Lund. At ESS, scientists will be able to study different types of materials to understand how they are built and how they function. For example, they will be able to test biological samples to see how drugs are absorbed into the body.Studying the smal

Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets. For companies investing in electrification, record-high and volatile electricity prices, present challenges and creates a need to improve the charging scheduling of
The rapid growth of the global electric vehicle (EV) market has led to an increased focus on the lifecycle management of electric vehicle batteries (EVBs), particularly concerning their end-of-life (EoL) handling. The thesis explores and evaluates the implementation of reverse logistics (RL) setups for EoL EVBs of electric motorcycles in Kenya, a market that is observing an increasing EV sector bu

With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat
The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources has introduced substantial challenges to both the stability of the electrical grid and the economic viability of incumbent wind farms. In light of recent regulatory amendments within the energy market, stakeholders are compelled to adjust their operational strategies. Concurrently, the expansion of wind power has exacerbated price cannib
