As the world faces the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, renewable sources of energy have emerged as a viable solution. However, integrating renewable energy into existing power grids poses unique challenges. The availability of solar power depends on sunlight, wind power on wind speed, and this variability can cause instability and fluctuations in the grid, ...

Denne masteroppgaven undersøker effektiviteten av minirenseanlegg i Narvik kommune for å fjerne forurensninger fra avløpsvann. Studien er basert på analyser av laboratorie- og feltdata for å evaluere anleggenes ytelse og deres potensielle innvirkning på folkehelsen og miljøet. Fokusområdene inkluderer sammenligning av laboratorie- og feltdata, påvirkningen av geografiske forhold på infiltrasjonsprosessen, ...

Bakgrunn: Hjerneslag er en av de ledende dødsårsakene i verden. Tidligere forskning har vist at kardiorespiratorisk form (KRF) kan være en prediktiv faktor for hjerte- og karsykdommer. Dette kan være en viktig faktor for den generelle folkehelsen i Norge og på verdensbasis. Det er derimot lite forskning som ser på den spesifikke sammenhengen mellom KRF og hjerneslag, spesielt blant kvinner. Hensikt: ...

As global energy consumption continues to rise relevant energy sectors and communities must accurately forecast future electricity needs. This foresight is critical for effective planning, preserving the stability of the electricity grid, and avoiding blackouts. Accurate forecasting methodologies are critical in guiding decision-making processes correlated to resource allocation, infrastructure ...

This thesis studies the application of Change Point Detection (CPD) algorithms to the segmentation of symbolic music using MIDI representations. This study focuses on the use of two primary CPD algorithms, PELT and Binary Segmen- tation, to analyze and detect transitions within the Lakh MIDI dataset, which is known for its diversity in musical genres and styles. The main focus of the thesis is on ...

This thesis deals with the subject of a two axis rotatable solar panel rig where the design for the electrical components are proposed and the controller code from previous theses are further developed. The rig is to be used for research by UiT Narvik and the prerequisites for the installation of the rig are designed in this thesis. The electrical components for the rig proposed are an H-bridge, ...

Belt conveyor systems play a crucial role in the continuous transportation of bulk materials across varying distances. However, ensuring the reliability of these systems remains a significant concern for operators due to the potential financial losses incurred from system downtime, which not only impacts revenue from material conveying but also disrupts subsequent material processing facilities. The ...

Nowadays, due to growth of advanced technology and its impact on people lives, there is an increasing need for aligning and optimizing infrastructure with people needs. Harnessing renewable energy from different sources, store and eventually transmit and distributed it is an all-time challenge which nowadays by implementing and proper maintenance we lead to having higher efficiency to the point where ...

Some approaches to achieving full observability and controllability in power systems are explored in this thesis. The core structure of this work consists of observability and controllability, focusing on two key phases of optimization and control. In the first phase, system observability is addressed through optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). The Connectivity Matrix Algorithm ...

The aging of civil infrastructure presents significant challenges in a global scale, necessitating innovative research techniques for effective solutions. Governments are increasingly compelled to allocate additional time and budgetary resources towards maintenance, repairs, or the construction of new structures to replace deteriorated or damaged ones. This allocation is essential to ensure ...
