  1. 21. Management control for sustainability : Activities and procedures for energy management in industrial companies

    Författare :Josefine Rasmussen; Mikael Ottosson; Henrik Nehler; Fredrik Tell; Fredrik Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sustainability management control; energy management; energy efficiency investments; decision-making; activities and procedures; non-energy benefits; energy-intensive industries; Energiledning; investeringar i energieffektivisering; styrning; beslutsfattande; aktiviteter; procedurer; mervärden; energiintensiv industri;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis takes its point of departure in the important role of the industrial sector in mitigating climate change through a reduced energy use. There is a lack of understanding for how energy management should be organised and implemented in industrial companies. LÄS MER

  3. 22. In the Name of Energy Efficiency : Justice and energy poverty in the energy transition of Swedish housing

    Författare :Jenny von Platten; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy transition; Housing; Justice; Energy poverty; Economic inequality; Flexibility;

    Sammanfattning : The energy transition of housing is accelerating in parallel with economic inequality reaching historically high levels. There is thus an opportunity to reduce inequalities in living conditions, but also a risk that the costs of the transition are unequally distributed and aggravate existing inequalities. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Phase Equilibrium-aided Design of Phase Change Materials from Blends : For Thermal Energy Storage

    Författare :Saman Nimali Gunasekara; Viktoria Martin; Justin NingWei Chiu; Torsten Fransson; Ana Ines Fernandez; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal energy storage TES ; phase change material PCM ; phase diagram; congruent melting; compound; solid solution; eutectic; peritectic; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is no longer imminent but eminent. To combat climate change, effective, efficient and smart energy use is imperative. Thermal energy storage (TES) with phase change materials (PCMs) is one attractive choice to realize this. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Cost-efficient integration of variable renewable electricity - Variation management and strategic localisation of new demand

    Författare :Viktor Walter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flexibility measures; Energy system modelling; smart energy systems; variation management strategies; variable renewable electricity;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this work was to improve our understanding of how wind power and solar photovoltaics (PV) can be integrated into the European electricity system in a cost-efficient manner. For this, a techno-economic, cost-minimising model of the electricity system is refined for a number of case studies. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Participating in Energy Systems through Everyday Designs – Exploring roles for households in a more sustainable energy future

    Författare :Sara Renström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; smart energy; sustainable energy systems; sustainable design; user-centred design; demand-side management; smart home; energy use;

    Sammanfattning : As households we participate in energy systems when, in the course of our everyday energy-reliant activities, we create a demand for energy and when we engage in energy-managing activities such as choosing an energy provider and deciding to support a specific source of energy. In this way, everyday life has an impact on the energy sector, and vice versa. LÄS MER
