...assembly lines and paint finishing lines. Manual loading and unloading of hangers can pose health and safety risks to workers and constitute a substantial part of production costs. In this work, we explore automation of the loading and unloading process using a robot manipulator arm and model-based object...

...patient-centric digital-first interaction paradigm. While this can improve effectiveness, its impact on patients and physicians is potentially adverse. We aim to understand how general practitioners (GPs) and their patients interact with digitalisation in evolving screening programs. Based on the Norwegian Cervical...

A framework for unified analysis of small-signal and large-signal power system stability based on static and dynamic eigenvalues is proposed in this paper. The presented implementation is based on Gear's method, which is a two-step integration method for numerical simulation with self-adaptive time-step...

Bidding of flexible reservoir hydropower in day-ahead (spot) auctions needs to be done under uncertainty of electricity prices and inflow to reservoirs. The presence of reservoirs also means that the short-term problem of determining bids for the next 12–36 hours is a part of a long term problem in which...

...project Vulnerability and security in a changing power system. The main stakeholders of this project are the energy authorities, system operators and network companies. The project has emphasized vulnerabilities in relation to extraordinary events with low probability to occur and high impact on the security...

...functions and other critical infrastructures, but there is no agreed-upon framework on how to analyze and predict the reliability of electricity supply. Thus, there is a need for an approach to cross-sector risk analyses, which facilitates risk analysis of outages in the electricity supply system and enables...

...(IEA) that in the long term, "completely eliminating fossil fuels in transport and industry without resorting to hydrogen may be hard to achieve". (IEA, 2012). Hydrogen production from fossil fuels, when applying CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) may be a key transition technology when moving in the direction...

Insight into thermal–hydraulic correlations of plate fin-and-tube heat exchangers is of great interest in many industrial applications. Numerical simulations allow to efficiently and accurately obtain air-side heat transfer and pressure drop correlations for a broad variety of heat exchanger configurations...

...local power supply based on fossil fuel. Alternative power supply, e.g., wind power, has a large potential to reduce the fossil fuel use, and thereby the CO 2 and NO emissions. Potential benefits with such a solution are studied by considering a system consisting of five interconnected oil platforms...
