The proposed paper documents research carried out in the Smart Charge project. This project has investigated the use of electric snowmobiles for V2G purposes. Electric snowmobiles and ATVs have been introduced in remote areas in the Arctic to replace the fossil fuelled vehicles that dominate today. Electric versions of these can add extra loads to the local electricity grid. But they can also be ...

The prediction of efficiency scores for winter road maintenance (WRM) is a challenging and serious issue in countries with cold climates. While effective and efficient WRM is a key contributor to maximizing road transportation safety and minimizing costs and environmental impacts, it has not yet been included in intelligent prediction methods. Therefore, this study aims to design a WRM ...

Charging of electric vehicles (EVs) on a large scale can cause problems for the grid. Utilizing local flexibility resources, such as smart charging, stationary battery, vehicle-to-grid applications, and local generation can be an efficient way to contain the grid challenges and mitigate the need for grid reinforcement. Focusing on the INSPIRIA charging station located in Norway, this paper investigates ...

Det anbefales et varmepumpeanlegg med tre sammenkoblete varmepumper som benytter kommunes backup drikkevannsforsyning som varmekilde. Anlegget kan levere 262 kW varmeeffekt til Salangen bo- og eldresenter og Vasshaug barnehage. Økonomisk vurdering viser at prosjektet har en positiv nåverdi på 3,8 mil. kroner og 2,9 år inntjeningstid.

The study presented in this paper concerns the ventilation system inside tunnels. The ventilation system is responsible for the removal of exhaust gases produced by vehicles and for providing a clear view throughout the tunnels in routine operations and in the event of fire. The ventilation system has several stages, which are equipped with one or more fans and can be activated together or separately. ...

Major corporations compete over the strengths of their supply chains. Integrating production and distribution operations helps improve supply chain connectedness and responsiveness beyond the standalone optimization norms. This study proposes an original Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation for the Production scheduling-based Routing Problem with Time Window and Setup Times (PRP-TWST). ...

Without confirmation of the ventilation design conditions (typology and airflow rate), the common practice of identifying unidirectional airflow (UDAF) systems as equivalent to ultra-clean air ventilation systems may be misleading, but also any claims about the ineffectiveness of UDAF systems should be doubted. The aim of this review was to assess and compare ventilation system design conditions for ...

The concept of Vilenkin–Lebesgue points was introduced in [12], where the almost everywhere convergence of Fejer means of Vilenkin–Fourier series was proved. In this paper, we present a different (and simpler) approach to prove a similar result, which can be used to prove that the corresponding result holds also in a more general context, namely for regular Norlund and T-means.

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 ...

The thesis aims to address research questions of how the high integration of distributed energy resources (DER) influences the voltage profile of the distribution network and how the smart converters in DERs can be utilized to address voltage violations. For this purpose, the thesis investigates the coordinated active and reactive power control in smart converters to mitigate voltage violations. To ...
