Extreme climate events occur more frequently and stronger in the future due to climate change. Maintaining the energy security during extreme conditions is essential to reduce the impacts of extreme climate and avoid disasters. Resilient design of the energy system to resist against extreme climate events are investigated considering four scenarios, namely, typical demand (TD), extreme demand (ED)

Kinesthetic teaching allows human operators to reprogram part of a robot’s trajectory by manually guiding the robot. To allow kinesthetic teaching, and also to avoid any harm to both the robot and its environment, Cartesian impedance control is here used for trajectory following. In this paper, we present an online method to modify the compliant behavior of a robot toward its environment, so that

This work demonstrates that hydrogen can be reversibly stored in a composite of NaF and Al. NaF and Al reacts to a mixture of Na3AlF6 and NaAlH4 via hydridofluoride phases of the form Na3AlH6-xFx. The analysis of thermodynamics based on literature standard enthalpies of formation yields the technically favourable enthalpy of reaction of roughly 35 kJ/mol H-2 for a theoretical gravimetric hydrogen

Flexibility of the energy system plays a vital role when integrating non-dispatchable renewable energy technologies. However, flexibility of the energy system has been often discussed only focusing on the operation of the energy system. This study extends the flexibility concept considering both design and operation of the energy system. In order to achieve this, pseudo chronological scenarios use

The article is based on the string-hypothesis, which has important scientific consequences. Science has meant to associate the notion of number with the strict operation of counting. However, recent account of string-theoretical approaches is sharply distinguishing ”number” from ”magnitude”. In studying ”spinning” strings in the context of language, it is shown that rotation is a valid concept. Fo

I ett ökat behov av grön energi, ökar även användadet av geoenergi. Berggrunden kan fungera som både energikälla och som energilager, vilket gör den passande för både värme- och kylanläggningar. Berggrundens termiska egenskaper är en av de viktigaste parametrarna vid planering av borrdjup och brunnsutformning för en optimal geotermisk anläggning. Detta mastersarbete innefattar en metodstudie och u

Excited state evolution of the rhodium(iii) complex [Rh(iii)(phen)2(NH3)2]2+ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been investigated theoretically to gain a better understanding of light-driven activation of high-energy metal centered states. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations show the significance of asymmetric motion on a multidimensional potential energy landscape around the metal cente
