An experimental study on rotor-wake interactions of wind turbines
Mühle, Franz Volker (PhD Thesis;2018:55, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Interactions of wind turbine wakes with downstream turbines can reduce a wind farm’s power production and increase loads on the individual turbines. For the purpose of wind farm optimization, different aerodynamic ... -
Assessing the feasibility of a solar water heating system in rural Uganda
Hirsch, Thea Sigtveit von (Master thesis, 2019)Energy in rural Uganda is often a limited and expensive commodity where as much as 80% of the population lives in rural areas. Biomass is the traditional source of energy and accounts for more than 80% of the energy used ... -
CFD simulations of local wind fields : a parametric study
Birkeland, Vincent Kortebein (Master thesis, 2021)Establishing the local wind fields using a simulation software is an important part of the wind resource assessment. In this study the WindSim software, utilizing the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, is used to ... -
Cost optimization of distributed power generation in southern Norway, with focus on renewable hybrid system configurations.
Bøe, Vegard (Master thesis, 2017)This thesis examines the levelized cost of energy for different grid-connected electrical system configurations, with focus on renewable hybrid configurations, situated in Ås, Norway. The analysis has been conducted with ... -
Effects of access to renewable energy sources and technologies on rural household energy use and the environment in Ethiopia
Wassie, Yibeltal Tebikew (PhD Thesis;2020:50, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Access to modern, affordable, and reliable energy and clean cooking facilities is critical for Ethiopia to drive its economic development, reduce poverty and curb the negative environmental and health impacts of traditional ... -
End-user evaluation of Solar Home System as a viable energy system for rural development in South Africa
Mannes, Monika (Master thesis, 2017)In 2001, South Africa’s government initiated an electrification programme with ambitions to improve its rural electrification access rate. Therefore, the government provided remote and rural areas without access to the ... -
Exploring future energy solutions in Ghana with FPV/PHS hybrid system through techno-economic analysis
Thoresen, Solveig Barstad; Skogheim, Torgrim (Master thesis, 2021)Ghana accommodates abundant solar resources and has a goal of installing 425 MW of new utility scaled photovoltaics by 2030. Would conventional ground-based photovoltaics (PV) or the growing floating PV (FPV) technology ... -
Feasibility study for different grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system configurations, for five selected locations in Norway
Hansen, Nils Ola (Master thesis, 2018)This thesis investigates the net present cost (NPC) and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for different grid connected energy systems with focus on renewable hybrid configurations for the locations Grinder, Trondheim, Bergen, ... -
Hybrid renewable-diesel energy systems in an off-grid arctic community of Svalbard
Aalde, Oskar (Master thesis, 2018)This thesis examines the viability of using local wind and solar resources in a hybrid renewable-diesel energy system in the off-grid arctic community of Ny Ålesund in Svalbard. The community is the northernmost town in ... -
Lønnsomhet for lokal sol og vindkraft i Nord-Norge : en casestudie
Viumdal, Håvard (Master thesis, 2019)Denne oppgaven undersøkte kostnaden for forskjellige nett-tilkoblede kraftsystemer, på en gård i Nord-Troms. Fokuset var rettet mot kraftsystemer som besto av variable fornybare energi systemer. Analysen ble foretatt ved ... -
A novel framework for coupling mesoscale and steady-state CFD models for wind resource assessment
Durán, Pablo (PhD Thesis;2020:30, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The estimation of the energy production of wind farms is a key factor for the development of wind energy projects. Currently, these estimations utilize only a few onsite measurement points to estimate the wind resource at ... -
Performance degradation studies on field-aged solar photovoltaic modules
Quansah, David Ato (PhD Thesis;2018:84, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, in its variant forms, has evolved over the last four decades to become a mainstream energy technology for terrestrial applications, and is already playing an important role in national ... -
Performance of a photovoltaic-thermal system in a tropical environment of central Ghana
Abdul-Ganiyu, Saeed (PhD Thesis;2022:14, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Access to energy has been heavily linked to socio-economic development. It is therefore not surprising that the energy poverty in sub-Saharan Africa has affected development in the subregion. However, as development ... -
Sensitivity analyses of the weather research and forecasting model for wind resource assessment in coastal Ghana
Dzebre, Denis Edem Kwame (PhD Thesis;2019:105, Doctoral thesis, 2019)With the rise of modern wind turbines, wind energy has grown to become a major source of generated electricity, alongside other renewable and conventional energy sources. The geographical and time dependent nature of wind ... -
Synergi mellom sol- og vindressurser for Sør-Norge
Midtbø, Lars Fredrik (Master thesis, 2019)Vind- og solenergi er viktige bidrag for den fremtidige energisituasjonen med tanke på energiforsyning. Ulemper med vind- og solenergi er at ressursene er variable og ustabile i motsetning til ressurser fra fossile ... -
