3. 2. Towards sustainable energy consumption : Electricity demand flexibility and household fuel choice

   Författare :Aemiro Melkamu Daniel; Lars Persson; Runar Brännlund; Rauli Svento; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Choice experiment; demand flexibility; electricity contract; fuel choice; fuel stacking; household heterogeneity; load control; pro-environmental framing; willingness-to-accept;

   Sammanfattning : Paper [I] investigates household heterogeneity in valuing electricity contract attributes that include various load controls and information sharing to induce demand flexibility. Using a stated preference choice experiment conducted with Swedish households, this paper shows that, although a large proportion of households ask for substantial compensation, some households are willing to share their electricity consumption information and require relatively lower compensation to allow load controls.

4. 3. Control Strategy for Energy Efficient Fluid Power Actuators : Utilizing Individual Metering

   Författare :Björn Eriksson; Jan-Olov Palmberg; Jonas Larsson; Jochen Pohl; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fluid power; mode switch; energy efficient; independent metering; split spool; poppet; Fluid mechanics; Strömningsmekanik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a solution enabling lower losses in hydraulic actuator systems. A mobile fluid power system often contains several different actuators supplied with a single load sensing pump. One of the main advantages is the need of only one system pump. This makes the fluid power system compact and cost-effective. LÄS MER

5. 4. Tourists' vacation choice structure : Influence of values and implications for green tourism

   Författare :Therese Hedlund; Maria Bengtsson; Anna-Carin Nordvall; Øystein Aas; Umeå universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : In the vacation choice structure, denoting how vacation choices such as choice of destination, travel mode, and accommodation, are related and prioritized by tourists, every choice plays an important and unique role. Although it has been recognized that vacation choices inter-relate in several different aspects, previous research has primarily studied the primacy aspect. LÄS MER
