Development and Electrochemical Evaluation of Tape Cast Substrates for SOFC Single Cells
(Master thesis, 2013)As a means to reduce the solid oxide fuel cell material cost and make it more adapted to other fuels, titania as a candidate catalyst material has been investigated. A low-cost, high precision, self made tape casting ... -
Power dispatching of active generators using droop control in grid connected micro-grid
(Master thesis, 2014)Renewable energy promises a green energy future for the world. However, many technical problems still have to be solved. Almost all renewable energy sources require power electronic converters for power processing and ... -
Measurements of magnetic flux density in rotating machines : development of a calibrated and portable measurement system
(Master thesis, 2014)Diagnostics of generator poles has traditionally been done by measuring the impedancein each pole and assume that the magnetic ux density is proportional to the impedance.With Hall-sensors it is possible to measure the ... -
Proper sizing of energy storage for grid connected photovoltaic system
(Master thesis, 2014)The requirement of an energy storage to a grid connected PV system, is highly desirable in cases like power outages. Another importance is to reduce the peak time electricity buying from the utility grid and discharging ... -
Home energy management system : a home energy management system under different electricity pricing mechanisms
(Master thesis, 2014)Peak demand is a severe problem in the electricity grid and it was solved by supply side management in the past. But nowadays the demand side management sources have drawn attention due to the economic and environmental ... -
