The increasing focus on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the context of electrification of transport sector has raised concerns about their high costs, resource and energy demands, environmental impact, and social supply chain risks. To address these challenges and maximize the value of LIBs throughout their lifecycle, circular economy (CE) strategies, such as reusing and repurposing, are being exp

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

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

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

With the trend of transport electrification, the fleet of delivery and transport vehicles with internal combustion engines taking fossil fuel in the terminals of logistics companies should be gradually replaced by electric vehicles (EVs). Expansion planning of the power system in the terminal is needed to meet the increased EV charging need. Different expansion solutions with variable technologies

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

I takt med att klimatförändringarna blir en allt mer akut fråga ökar efterfrågan på hållbara transportlösningar, särskilt i glesbygdsområden där alternativen ofta är begränsade. Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen för små eldrivna tåg – i storlek liknande bussar och drivna antingen av batterier eller bränsleceller – för användning på icke-elektrifierade järnvägslinjer på ett kostnadseffektivt

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

The electric power system plays a central role in the transition to a sustainable energy system: Electric power based on renwable sources permits an increase in electricity consumption to eliminate fossil fuels. This brings large challenges to the electric power system in terms of adaptation to the variable production from wind power and solar electricity. These electricity sources are grid connec

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

Elektrifieringen av fordonsflottan kräver installation av laddinfrastruktur längs vägarna för resor då hem-eller depåladdning inte täcker behoven. Elvägar kan vara en lösning genom att förse bilar med ström under färd, också kallat dynamisk laddning. Dessutom kan elvägar hjälpa till att minska behovet av stora batterier i elbilar. Det är dock viktigt att ta hänsyn till att laddning av eldrivna fo

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
