Inverter-based resources (IBRs), such as solar and wind power are gaining popularity because of their increasing acceptance, environmental benefits and decreasing costs. However, their integration into power systems can lead to significant impacts on system inertia and frequency stability, which are crucial for maintaining the reliability of the power grid. In traditional power systems, the synchronous ...

Tilsetting av fiber i betong har vært noe som lenge har vært benyttet for å tilføre strekkegneskaper i betongen og hindre blant annet riss i betongen. Det har i de siste årene vært et ønske om å undersøke om det er forsvarlig å bruke fiber betong i bærende konstruksjoner, og ikke kun i fundamenter og sprøytebetong som fiber har normalt sett vært benyttet til. Etter publiseringen av NB.38 i 2020 har ...

This thesis project was commissioned by Cegal and aimed to investigate the potential for demand-side flexibility in the Helgeland region, as well as evaluate forecasting methods for a demand-response system. The future energy situation in the area was analyzed, while the experimental part investigated forecasting methods which can be applied in a demand-response system. Finally, the project i ...

This master’s thesis examines the viability of using a low-performance, low- power-consumption remote robot agent to collect sensor data for use in a vSLAM system. Selections for the components of the robot agent were made based on results from a small initial study, the robot was assembled, and software to run it was created. A remote server application was created to communicate with the robot ...

In this paper, we address modelling and simulation of dynamics involved in docking of large marine vessels with aid of tugboats, with the aim of providing a tool for improved design of control algorithms for autonomous docking operations. Mathematical models of the docking vessel and tugboats in 3DOF are derived, with a special focus on realistic interactions through towline, contact and friction ...

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) at various size 226-1938 g were placed in electric dry stunning either tailor head- first and then exposed to 50 Hz, 240 V AC for 0.5 and thereafter 9.5 s of electricity. This to verify whether the animal is rendered unconscious prior to killing by immersing the animal into cold brine (-14 to -18 °C) or hypoxic water, supersaturated with CO2. In addition, salmon from ...

Over the past few years, the market has shifted away from mass production towards mass customization and personalized production. This shift has made it necessary for manufacturing companies to change their manufacturing line more frequently, which can be both expensive and time-consuming. To overcome this challenge, reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) have been proposed as a solution. However, ...

Background: Systematic literature review (SLR) is increasingly utilized to maximize the element of rigor and minimize the individual bias of research synthesis. An analysis of the Web of Science (WoS) database indicates that 90% of the literature review studies using SLR have been published between 2012 and 2022. However, this progressive agenda is impaired by the lack of methodological consistency ...
