In response to the increasing demand for construction informatics (CI) expertise, universities in the Nordic countries have developed new educational offers. This study explores how CI related education is being delivered by three different universities, two in Norway and one in Sweden. By comparing curricula and interviewing CI teachers, this paper contributes to the recent debate on the international ...

A stochastic nonlinear model predictive controller (SNMPC) is designed for automatic generator control of a proxy of the Nordic power system, and it is compared with a multi-stage nonlinear model predictive controller (MNMPC). Both controllers are scenario based, but originate in two different disturbance modeling paradigms; stochastic and deterministic. A simulation study indicates that the two ...

The thesis examines which energy production methods are suitable together with seasonal storage of energy at UiT the arctic university of Norway in Narvik. Nordkraft has provided the subject which has been examined. The location of UiT Narvik together with its areas and storage volumes have been examined for what power production methods and energy storage methods are suitable for this location. ...

The operation schedule of the power generation units in electrical power systems is determined by the optimisation problem known as unit commitment (UC), aiming at minimising the total cost considering the generation constraints. To obtain a feasible solution from the network perspective, the security-constrained UC (SCUC) problem has been defined to embed the network constraints in the optimisation ...

Etterspørselen av bygg som er oppført etter passivhusstandard øker i Norge, men det er til nå ikke blitt forsket mye på hvordan disse veggene, bygd etter passivhusstandard, vil oppføre seg i norsk klima. Det er blitt undersøkt ytterveggens evne til selvutørking og eventuell kondensfare som kan oppstå, som følge av lokalisering i ulike klimasoner og i forhold til himmelretning. Resultatene fra ...

The transportation of CO2 is important to all Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. Both the infrastructure costs – compressors, pipelines, tanker ships, etc. – and the energy consumed in the compression or liquefaction of CO2 are significant. Understanding how the size, capacity and energy consumption of transportation alternatives varies between projects is therefore important. Modelling ...

The restricted maximal operators of partial sums with respect to bounded Vilenkin systems are investigated. We derive the maximal subspace of positive numbers, for which this operator is bounded from the Hardy space H p to the Lebesgue space L p for all 0<p≤1 . We also prove that the result is sharp in a particular sense.

The current status concerning Hardy-type inequalities with sharp constants is presented and described in a unified convexity way. In particular, it is then natural to replace the Lebesgue measure dx with the Haar measure . There are also derived some new two-sided Hardy-type inequalities for monotone functions, where not only the two constants are sharp but also the involved function spaces are ...

While designing the power requirements of a ship, the most important factor to be considered is the ship resistance, or the sea drag forces acting on the ship. It is important to have an estimate of the ship resistance while designing the propulsion system since the power required to overcome the sea drag forces contribute to ‘losses’ in the propulsion system. There are three main methods to calculate ...

The shock tube is a device in which a normal shock wave is produced by the interaction of fluids at significantly high-pressure difference. The shock tube is comprised of two sections known as driver and driven sections. These two sections are interacted with the high-speed valve or a bursting disc. When the interaction happens, a shock wave forms almost instantaneously and propagates into the driven ...
