  1. 1. Solar access indicators for urban planning

    Författare :Agnieszka Czachura; Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar access; urban planning; performance indicator; daylighting; sunlighting; neighbourhood; metric taxonomy; urban density;

    Sammanfattning : Solar access describes the amount and distribution of sunlight in living environments. Access to sunlight is crucial for the health and sustainability of cities. It is vital for people and vegetation, and for energy production and conservation. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sustainability of rural energy access in developing countries

    Författare :Brijesh Mainali; Semida Silveira; Benjamin Sovacool; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Access; Rural electrification; Rural energy; Household; Renewable energy; Off-grid; Mini-grid; Grid; Pathways; Fuel choice; Indicator; Sustainability index; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The importance of access to modern energy has been well understood by governments and donor agencies in many developing countries, and significant effort has been made in recent years to address energy access challenges. However, despite these efforts, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has predicted that the energy access problem will remain unresolved by 2030. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Solar energy for a brighter life. A case study of rural electrification through solar photovoltaic technology in the Eastern Province, Zambia

    Författare :Mathias Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; rural development; rural electrification; distributed generation; photovoltaic technology; solar home system; energy services; Zambia; Sub Saharan Africa;

    Sammanfattning : Electricity is taken for granted in many parts of the world. In Sub-Saharan Africa, typically less than 5% of the rural population have access to this energy source. Even though electricity in itself does not lead to development, it can support a development process. LÄS MER

  5. 4. An evaluation of solar powered irrigation as carbon offset projects

    Författare :Alexander Olsson; Jinyue Yan; Björn Frostell; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; carbon offset; carbon sequestration; clean development mechanism; climate change adaptation; desertification; solar power water pumping; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon offsets have been developed as one tool to incentivise investments by developed nations in climate change mitigation activities in developing countries. The carbon offsets can be used towards the countries’ own mitigation targets but are also meant to benefit developing countries by providing a pathway to clean development. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Statistical Methods in Quantitative Spectroscopy of Solar-Type Stars

    Författare :Alvin Gavel; Andreas Korn; Ulrike Heiter; Coryn Bailer-Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; Astronomi;

    Sammanfattning : Galactic archaeology is the research field that attempts to reconstruct the history of the Milky Way, using primarily the tools of astrometric studies and chemical studies. The latter in turn uses stellar spectroscopy. LÄS MER
