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
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
Welcome to the Division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation (IEA) The Division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation (IEA) offers a number of courses in industrial electrical engineering and automation both in Lund for several Engineering programmes and at Campus Helsingborg for the programme in Electrical Engineering and Automation.

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 coupled relationships among water, energy, and emission, i.e., water-energy-emission nexus (WEEN), are found to be spatial-temporally characterized. This research is aimed at evaluating the spatial-temporal characteristics of the WEEN of the selected 227 coal-fired power plants in China from 2012 to 2014 by employing the entropy weighting method. Firstly, the WEEN performances (the sub-indicat
As the global energy sector undergoes a necessary transition toward renewable sources, Mexico has committed to significantly expanding its clean energy capacity. The Baja California Peninsula, with its rich solar and wind resources, presents a unique opportunity to lead this shift. The peninsula is composed of two states: Baja California and Baja California Sur. Baja California operates one electr
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
Distributed generation, DG, introduces multi-generator grids and new modes of operation. DG will likely introduce power electronic, PE, converters on a large scale at the low- and medium-voltage levels. DC injection into the AC grid is a threat from grid-connected PE converters that are badly structured. Low DC currents in AC current are difficult to measure at those low levels decided in IEEE™ 15
Flygindustrin närmar sig ett vägval där sektorn kommer behöva bestämma sig för vilken typ av framtida energimöjligheter den ska använda sig av. En väg är att även fortsättningsvis använda sig konventionellt flygbränsle vilket med stor sannolikhet kommer leda till fortsatt ökande utsläpp globalt, och den andra vägen leder sektorn till hållbart flygbränsle, vätgasdrift och batteridrivna elektriska f
Detta examensarbete undersöker potentialen och begränsningarna för lokal eldelning i småhusområden genom att analysera sambandet mellan lokal solcellsproduktion och elkonsumtion i befintliga lågspänningsnät på landsbygden. Studien baseras på kvartsupplöst mätdata från E.ON Energidistribution från år 2025, med konsumtions- och produktionsdata från enskilda hushåll och fem nätstationer. Målet var atThis master thesis investigates the potential and limitations of local electricity sharing in residential distribution networks by analysing the correlation between local photovoltaic (PV) generation and electricity consumption in existing rural low-voltage grids. The study is based on quarter-hour resolution measurement data from 2025 provided by E.ON, including consumption and production data fr
Electricity demand in southern Sweden is expected to increase significantly in the coming decades. More electric cars, cleaner industries, and the phase-out of fossil fuels will require much larger amounts of electricity than today. At the same time, Skåne currently produces only part of the electricity it consumes and depends heavily on electricity imports from other regions and neighbouring coun
Among concentrating solar power technologies, direct steam generation solar tower power plants represent a promising option. These systems eliminate the usage of heat transfer fluids allowing for the power block to be run at greater operating temperatures and therefore further increasing the thermal efficiency of the power cycle. On the other hand, the current state of the art of these systems doe
The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, runs approximately 2,150 hours a year and generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered, and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This wasted heat is ap
Sweden is heading towards an energy system with less nuclear power and more intermittent energy sources. Together with the coming electrification of the transport and industry sector, this challenges the future stability of the Swedish power system. However, a part of the solution could be that consumption of electricity temporarily is adjusted to facilitate the operation of the power system, reco
