1. 1. Balancing variable renewable electricity generation using combined heat and power plants, large-scale heat pumps, and thermal energy storages in Swedish district heating systems

   Författare :Svante Monie; Magnus Åberg; Annica Nilsson; Joakim Widén; Magnus Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; District heating systems; Power-to-Heat; Heat pumps; Combined heat and power; Thermal energy storage; Power balance; Variable renewable electricity; Biomass fuel; Engineering Science with specialization in Civil Engineering and Built Environment; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot byggteknik och byggd miljö;

   Sammanfattning : The global ambitions to hamper the greenhouse effect has led to ambitious targets for increasing renewable energy use. This, in combination with recent years' vast development of wind and solar power, implies that there will be significant amounts of variable renewable electricity (VRE) in future energy systems.

3. 2. Process Utility Performance Evaluation and Enhancements in the Traditional Sugar Cane Industry

   Författare :Eyerusalem Deresse Birru; Andrew Martin; Catharina Erlich; Hailong Li; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sugar cane; energy saving; heat loss; steady state; transient state; CO2 emission; absorption chiller; pellet; bagasse drying; energy perfor-mance; traditional mills; modern mills; waste water; surplus power; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Sammanfattning : The need to achieve sustainable development has led to devising various approaches for the efficient utilization of natural resources. Renewable energy technology and energy efficiency measures feature prominently in this regard, and in particular for industries such as sugar production:  the sugar cane industry’s eponymous feedstock is a renewable resource, and mills have potential for increased energy savings via improvements to cogeneration units, electric drive retrofitting, and other measures.

4. 3. From Combined Heat and Power to Polygeneration

   Författare :Fredrik Starfelt; Jinyue Yan; Eva Thorin; Umberto Desideri; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : In order to reach targets on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil resources it is necessary to reduce energy losses in production processes. In polygeneration, several processes are combined to complement each other to avoid sub-optimization of the standalone processes. LÄS MER

5. 4. Improving the performance of combined heat and power plants through integration with cellulosic ethanol production

   Författare :Fredrik Starfelt; Yan Jinyue; Eva Thorin; Simon Harvey; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :Combined heat and power; Polygeneration; biofuel; bioenergy; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Today’s biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plants have surplus heat production capacity during warmer times of the year. In order to allow them to increase their electricity production, it is essential to find a use for the surplus heat. LÄS MER

7. 5. Optimisation and Incentive Mechanisms for Robust Generation Dispatch and Capacity Investment in Electricity Markets

   Författare :Lamia Varawala; György Dán; Mohammad Reza Hesamzadeh; José Manuel Arroyo; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optimal power flow; Look-ahead; $N-k$ contingency criterion; Renewable energy; Environmental externalities; Electricity generation capacity; Strategic behaviour; Incentives;

   Sammanfattning : Power systems constitute a large-scale critical infrastructure and therefore, it is crucial that their operation be robust to deviations from normal functioning of its independent components. Furthermore, due to their large size, any inefficiencies in electricity market design can be very costly and therefore, must be optimised. LÄS MER
