Fully electric ships have become popular to meet the demand for emission-free transportation and improve ships' functionality, reliability, and efficiency. Previous studies reviewed the shipboard power systems, the different types of shipboard energy storage devices, and the influences of the shore-to-ship connection on ports' electrical grid. However, the converter topologies used in the electrification ...

Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical system that generates electricity by anaerobic oxidation of substrates. An anode is the most critical component because the primary conversion of wastewater into electrons and protons takes place on the surface of the anode, where a biofilm is formed. This paper describes the essential properties of the anode and classifies its types according ...

Of all the renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaic (PV) power is considered to be a popular source owing to several advantages such as its free availability, absence of rotating parts, integration to building such as roof tops and less maintenance cost. The nonlinear current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and power generated from a PV array primarily depends on solar insolation/irradiation and ...

In this article, we analyse how energy security are woven into political discourses among Norwegian policymakers after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the consequences of this for intergenerational justice and environmental concerns more broadly. Preceding justifications centred on state revenue and domestic economic growth, the current discourse focuses on the European need for security of ...

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 ...
