   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cost allocation; Game Theoy; Investments in Electricity grids; Efficiency benchmarking; Residential electricity demand; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with issues related to investments and regulation of high-voltage electricity grids, and to the households’ demand for electricity. The thesis consists of four self-contained papers. Papers I and II address the challenge of reaching agreements on the expansions of electricity grid infrastructure across national borders. LÄS MER

3. 2. Power to the people : electricity demand and household behavior

   Författare :Mattias Vesterberg; Runar Brännlund; Chandra Kiran Krishnamurthy; Maximilian Auffhammer; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; electricity demand; real-time pricing; demand flexibility; elasticity; appliance-level data; end-use; media; contract choice; de-regulated market; household behavior; intermittent electricity production; efficiency; imperfect information;

   Sammanfattning : Paper [I] Using a unique and highly detailed data set on energy consumption at the appliance-level for 200 Swedish households, seemingly unrelated regression (SUR)-based end-use specific load curves are estimated. The estimated load curves are then used to explore possible restrictions on load shifting (e.g. LÄS MER

4. 3. Heat Transfer and Energy Efficiency in Infrared Paper Dryers

   Författare :Magnus Pettersson; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; experimental; modelling; electricity; gas; efficiency; energy; drying; dryer; heat transfer; radiation; paper; infrared; IR; coating; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

   Sammanfattning : Infrared (IR) dryers are widely used in the paper industry, mainly in the production of coated paper grades. The thesis deals with various aspects of heat transfer and energy use in infrared heaters and dryers as employed in the paper industry. Both gas-fired and electric IR dryers are considered and compared. LÄS MER

5. 4. Cooperation in local electricity markets : modelling of technical measures

   Författare :Maria Andersson; Björn Karlsson; Curt Björk; Tomas Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy system; System cost; Electricity market; Co-operation; Demand-side management; Energy efficiency; Shadow prices;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a system analysis for co-operation in local electricity markets including distributors and customers. The purpose of co-operation is to minimise the system cost of local markets by introducing system measures, such as end-use measures and municipal co-generation plants. LÄS MER
