1. Hydro-Kinetic Energy Conversion : Resource and Technology
Sammanfattning : The kinetic energy present in tidal currents and other water courses has long been appreciated as a vast resource of renewable energy. The work presented in this doctoral thesis is devoted to both the characteristics of the hydro-kinetic resource and the technology for energy conversion. LÄS MER
2. Information Needs for Water Resource and Risk Management : Hydro-Meteorological Data Value and Non-Traditional Information
Sammanfattning : Data availability is extremely important for water management. Without data it would not be possible to know how much water is available or how often extreme events are likely to occur. The usually available hydro-meteorological data often have a limited representativeness and are affected by errors and uncertainties. LÄS MER
3. Hydro-climatic changes in irrigated world regions
Sammanfattning : Understanding of hydro-climatic changes in the world’s river basins is required to ensure future food security. Different regional basins experience different levels of hydro-climatic change depending on the endorheic or exorheic nature of a hydrological basin, along with the climatic conditions and human land and water-use practices, for instance for irrigation.

4. Short Term Scheduling of Hydrothermal Power Systems With Integer Hydro Constraints
Sammanfattning : The thesis presents models for short term planning (24 hours) of a hyro dominated hydrothermal power system. The purpose of the models is to minimizae the system operation costs to provide a forecasted load and keep enough spinning reserve... LÄS MER
5. The Nuclear Waters of the Soviet Union : Hydro-Engineering and Technocratic Culture in the Nuclear Industry
Sammanfattning : After the development of nuclear weapons, civil applications were seen as a way through which protagonists of Soviet modernity could embrace a new future, which Josephson called atomic-powered communism. Where hydro-powered communism had reached its boundaries, nuclear energy was to take over. LÄS MER
