1. 11. Decentralization in the electricity system: At the household, community and city levels

   Författare :Verena Heinisch; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Smart city; Storage systems; Power-to-heat; Optimization; Energy system modeling; Photovoltaic; Decentralization; Community energy; Prosumers;

   Sammanfattning : Recent years have seen a rise in the number of implementations of small-scale generation and storage technologies for electricity and heat at different levels in the energy system. This trend towards decentralization of the system is driven by rapid decrease in technology costs, as well as the intentions expressed by various stakeholders to contribute to a carbon-neutral energy system.

3. 12. Household food waste management – Evaluations of current status and potential improvements using life-cycle assessment methodology

   Författare :Anna Bernstad; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waste management; household waste; food waste; life-cycle assessment; anaerobic digestion; systems analysis;

   Sammanfattning : An increased understanding of the world’s limited resources and the negative environmental impacts connected to solid waste management has in recent years increased interest in separate collection and treatment of organic waste in many parts of the world. As an example, increased biological treatment of organic waste is an explicit goal within the Swedish national solid waste management strategy (SEPA, 2006) and the national environmental objectives state that 35% of all organic household waste should be treated biologically by 2010 (SEPA, 2007).

4. 13. Boosting behavioral change in residential electricity consumption : demand response programs and feedback

   Författare :Cajsa Bartusch; Lars Wester; Monica Odlare; Thomas Porathe; Mikael Larsson; Kajsa Ellegård; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : As part of realizing national and European climate ambitions, it is imperative to bring about increased energy efficiency and consumption flexibility in the residential sector of the Swedish power market. In addition to governmental policy instruments to this end, market-based measures play an important role in making behavioral change in domestic electricity use happen. LÄS MER

5. 14. Characterization of household energy consumption in Sweden : energy savings potential and feedback approaches

   Författare :Iana Vassileva; Erik Dahlquist; Jenny Palm; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Energy consumption is on a constant rise with domestic use contributing substantially to the overall consumption. The population growth along with ever increasing comfort levels and daily appliance usage are driving the domestic electricity demand to higher levels. LÄS MER

7. 15. Power Outages, Increasing Block Tariffs and Billing Knowledge

   Författare :Tensay Hadush Meles; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Power outages; defensive behavior; willingness to pay; Ethiopia; generalized propensity score; Residential electricity demand; shared connections; increasing block tariff; bunching analysis; panel data; Billing knowledge; consumer behavior; non-linear electricity price; field experiment;

   Sammanfattning : Preferences for Improved Electricity Services in Developing Countries: Household’s Defensive Behavior and Willingness to Pay Access to electricity has received much attention but its reliability has been given less focus. Thus, uninterrupted power supply remains a critical challenge facing households in low-income developing countries. LÄS MER
