A thematic collaboration initiative at Lund University Malmö, Helsingborg and Lund aim to be climate-neutral cities by 2030. Lund University, in partnership with Malmö University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Alnarp), is supporting their climate goals through research and collaboration. Accelerating the transformation towards climate-neutral cities will require a mutual exch

Longitudinal coupled-bunch instabilities are driven by monopole higher-order modes (HOMs) in the active and passive radio-frequency (rf) cavities at the MAX IV 3 GeV electron storage ring. By combining different beam and rf-based techniques, we have performed a systematic survey of the properties of these resonant modes as a function of cavity temperatures and fundamental mode frequency.

The claims for the potential of boreal and sub-boreal forests to combat negative effects of climate change have been substantial with over half of Earth’s primary forests found within boreal and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Given the likely occurrence of more extreme climate events in the future, ascertaining a better understanding of how climate effects, such as profound fluctu

In a storage-ring free-electron laser (FEL), the onset and growth of intra-cavity power at the resonator wavelength can be naturally accompanied by coherent emission at higher harmonics. Contrary to what happens in singlepass linac-based devices, the electron beam is re-circulated in the storage ring and, while the microbunching becomes "thermalized" from turn to turn, the evolution of other bunch

Detta examensarbete är en del av projektet R:ekobyn, med sidoprojektet R:energi, som har syftet att utveckla hållbara energisystemlösningar till ett 40-tal nya bostäder i Röstånga. Examensarbetet är uppbyggt kring en fallstudie där fyra olika förslag på energisystem utvärderas och jämförs, med anseende på självförsörjandegrad, klimatpåverkan och kostnader. Utifrån lastprofiler har ett första scenaThis master thesis is part of the project R:ekobyn (an ecovillage in Röstånga), with the side project R:energi, which aims to develop sustainable energy system solutions to about 40 new homes in Röstånga. The master thesis consists of a case study where four different proposals for energy systems are evaluated and compared, with regards to self-sufficiency rate, climate impact and costs. Based on

The power systems of drilling rigs have changed considerably since the early days of steam driven machinery. This paper reviews that progression, from mechanical and diesel electric configurations through to modern hybrid and renewable integrated systems, with a focus on the power conversion technologies that enable each stage. Coverage includes the electrical architecture of drilling rig power sy

The automotive industry is shifting from internal combustion engines towards electrified drivetrains, containing electrical machines, power electronics and battery systems. The major hurdle in gaining customer acceptance for this type of drivetrain is the increase in price, due to hybrid drivetrains featuring an additional power system and pure electric systems requiring a major investment in

Detta examensarbete undersöker det framtida ekonomiska utbudet av flexibilitet i det svenska elsystemet till 2030, genom att tillämpa ett modelleringsramverk som kombinerar uppskattningar av marginalkostnader med tekniska potentialer för flexibilitet från olika tekniker. Dessa inkluderar användningsresurser (elpannor, värmepumpar och smart laddning av elfordon) produktionsresurser (kärnkraft, vattThis master's thesis investigates the future economic supply of flexibility in the Swedish electricity system by 2030, by applying a modelling framework combining marginal-cost estimates with technical-flexibility-potential assessments for a range of different technologies. These include demand-side resources (electric boilers, heat pumps and smart charging of electric vehicles) generation res

Den svenska elkonsumtionen och elproduktionen förväntas öka drastiskt de närmsta åren. Detta ställer krav på elnätet som därmed behöver stärkas och byggas ut för att tillvarata den el som förväntas. Parallellt med detta behöver den gröna omställningen av industrisektorn påskydas om EU ska lyckas uppnå klimatmålen till 2050. För att dekarbonisera industriella processer kan grön vätgas användas.

A novel atmospheric pressure non-thermal plasma, i.e., rotating gliding arc (RGA), is developed to upgrade coal bed methane (CBM) into hydrogen and carbon aerosol simultaneously. CH4 is used as a CBM surrogate. In present work, the V-I characteristics of RGA discharge in CH4 conversion are monitored with different gases (N2, Ar and CO2) as carrier gas, while the active species (such as OH, CH, CN,
