One of the most important causes of insulation system failure is the breakdown of the interface between two solid dielectrics; understanding the mechanisms governing this breakdown phenomenon is therefore critical. To that end, investigating and reviewing the practical limitations of the electrical...

For vessel-based transport of liquid CO₂ in carbon capture and storage chains, transport at 8 bar(a) enable significant cost reductions compared to transport at higher pressures for most transport distances and volumes. Transport at even lower pressures could further reduce the costs. There are...

Abstract The so-called short-term voltage stability is typical of nonlinear problems arising in dynamic performance of electric power systems. This paper reports a simulation result on load margin for short-term voltage stability of the IEEE 9-bus system connected to a multi-terminal DC system...

This paper presents a hydrothermal scheduling toolchain suitable for detailed studies of procurement of spinning reserves in the hydro-dominated Nordic power system. The toolchain combines a long-term model to find the expected marginal value of water in the hydropower reservoirs and initial states...

Compactness and weight minimization are key aspects for successful and widespread implementation of waste heat recovery steam cycles in off-shore oil and gas platforms due to the site weight and volume footprint constraints. The power plant off-shore must be designed for flexibility in its...

The aim of this thesis is to increase the understanding of the mechanisms governing Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) condensation, and in that way finding a pathway towards a higher condensation efficiency. Liquefaction of CO₂ occurs e.g. in industrial processes such as in heat exchangers for thermal management...

Tourism, and thereby hotels, play a crucial role in the European economy. The hotel sector features high energy consumption, which greatly contributes to the global warming effect. Thus, there is a need to investigate environmentally friendly technologies that have the potential to reduce energy...

This white paper presents a new set of guidelines developed to address important carbon capture and storage (CCS) cost issues in three areas. The first area of study tackles the establishment of improved guidelines for cost evaluation of advanced low-carbon technology (such as a new CO₂ capture...
