1. Valuing the environmental impacts of wind power : a choice experiment approach
Sammanfattning : There exists a political goal in Sweden to increase the use of renewable energy, and wind power seems to be a favorable choice from an environmental perspective. Although the public generally expresses a positive attitude towards wind power, specific projects often face resistance from the local population. LÄS MER
2. Sea Level Compensation System for Wave Energy Converters
Sammanfattning : The wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University consists of a linear generator at the seabed driven by the motion of a buoy on the water surface. The energy absorbed by the generator is negatively affected by variations of the mean sea level caused by tides, changes in barometric pressure, strong winds, and storm surges. LÄS MER
3. Swash Processes and Dune Erosion: Emphasis on Vessel-Generated Waves
Sammanfattning : In navigable waterways, owing to the relatively short fetches for wind wave generation, the free waves generated by moving vessels often produce the dominant wave action with respect to erosion of the shore. In response to the fairly recent introduction of high-speed ferries, combined with a planned expansion within the passenger- and car-carrying ship market, the need to model and predict coastline changes as a result of exposure to vessel-generated waves has become a topic of increased research.

4. Experimental results from the Lysekil Wave Power Research Site
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents how experimental results, from wave power research performed offshore at the Lysekil research site, were obtained. The data were used to verify theoretical models as well as evaluate the feasibility of wave power as a future sustainable energy source. LÄS MER
5. Experimental Measurement of Lateral Force in a Submerged Single Heaving Buoy Wave Energy Converter
Sammanfattning : The search for new solutions for the generation of energy is becoming more and more important for our future. Big arguments and disagreements on e.g. the questions of gas transport or the dependence on energy supplied by other countries raise demands on the development of new forms of alternative energy resources.
