21. Journal bearing design, lubrication and operation for enhanced performance
Sammanfattning : The increasing introduction of intermittent power sources combined with the de-regulation of electricity markets has led to increased instability in the electrical grid. This has led to increased start-up and shutdown of regulating power sources such as hydro-electric power plants and operation at non-ideal operating states both of which increase the wear and tear on machines.

22. A design process perspective on the energy performance of buildings
Sammanfattning : From a sustainable development perspective, buildings should be designed to be as energy-efficient as possible, as the contribution of buildings to total energy consumption has steadily increased, reaching between 20% and 40% in the developed countries. One of the main challenges for achieving this goal is to develop more cost-effective systems and processes for energy renovation and modernising of the building stock of Europe. LÄS MER
23. Fusing Domain Knowledge with Data : Applications in Bioinformatics
Sammanfattning : Massively parallel measurement techniques can be used for generating hypotheses about the molecular underpinnings of a biological systems. This thesis investigates how domain knowledge can be fused to data from different sources in order to generate more sophisticated hypotheses and improved analyses. LÄS MER
24. On Incentives affecting Risk and Asset Management of Power Distribution
Sammanfattning : The introduction of performance based tariff regulations along with higher media and political pressure have increased the need for well-performed risk and asset management applied to electric power distribution systems (DS), which is an infrastructure considered as a natural monopoly. Compared to other technical systems, DS have special characteristics which are important to consider. LÄS MER
25. Self-Regulating Active Chilled Beams
Sammanfattning : By designing comfort cooling systems to operate with higher chilled water temperatures, electricity driven chillers may be replaced by natural sources of free cooling. It also enables the possibility of self-regulation which, due to simplicity and robustness, brings cost-savings both during installation and maintenance of the building. LÄS MER
