1. Development of Concentrating Photovoltaic-Thermal Solar Collectors
Sammanfattning : Fossil fuels have greatly improved human living standards and saved countless lives. However, today, their continued use threatens human survival, as CO2 levels rise at an unprecedented pace to levels never seen during human existenceon earth. LÄS MER
2. Reflector Optimization for Low Concentration Photovoltaic-Thermal Solar Collectors
Sammanfattning : The alarming new global warming and increasing awareness related to climate change (mainly due to the high emissions of carbon dioxide) in recent decades linked all nations into a common cause, which requires ambitious efforts to combat climate change by adapting energy systems to its effects.The knowledge gain presented in this dissertation establishes the foundations for the development of a more efficient concentrating photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) solar collector.

3. Solar Thermal Collectors at High Latitudes : Design and performance of non-tracking concentrators
Sammanfattning : Solar thermal collectors at high latitudes have been studied, with emphasis on concentrating collectors. A novel design of concentrating collector, the Maximum Reflector Collector (MaReCo), especially designed for high latitudes, has been investigated optically and thermally. LÄS MER
4. Solar integrated heating systems: Applications in buildings and industries
Sammanfattning : “Heat is half” of the global final energy consumption, and the decarbonization of the heating sector is critical to achieving climate goals. This thesis employs a system modelling approach to evaluate renewable heating systems. LÄS MER
5. Retrofitted Solar Domestic Hot Water System for Single-Family Electrically-Heated Houses: Development and testing
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, there are roughly half a million single family houses that use electric heating for both domestic hot water production and space heating. Since electricity is the most expensive energy source in Sweden, it is interesting to install a high solar fraction solar thermal system to reduce the energy use in these houses. LÄS MER
