The performance of household PV systems in Southeastern Norway
(Master thesis, 2019)The recent price reduction of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems has led to an increased the demand in Norway. However, poor system design and modelling may cause the system cost to increase and the system credibility to ... -
The power of independence : increasing energy self-sufficiency on a small island state
(Master thesis, 2013-09-06)Fossil fuels constitute 21% of import costs and are the basis for 76% of electricity generation on Mauritius. The volatility and unpredictability in fossil fuel prices and supply are incentives to reduce dependency on these ... -
The Principal Component Transform (PCT) : tensor-metamodel of biochemical synergistic (S) systems, a new approach for mathematical modelling of non-linear dynamical systems
(Master thesis, 2014-09-23)In this thesis, a new approach, the principal component transform (PCT), is presented for mathematical modelling of synergistic biochemical systems (S-system) providing us with a simple and very accurate method for fitting ... -
The road to independence : a study of reducing fossil fuel import dependency for private land transport on Mauritius
(Master thesis, 2013-10-22)Imported fossil fuels accounted for 83.8% of the primary energy demand on Mauritius in 2011. 36.4% of the fossil fuels imported were used in the transport sector. This thesis examines how Mauritius can reduce their import ... -
The startup process for moving bed bio-reactors (MBBR) in freshwater recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) within the Norwegian aquaculture industry
(Master thesis, 2013-03-26)Recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology is becoming increasingly popular in today’s growing aquaculture industry, as it provides further expansion on already limiting good freshwater resources in a controllable ... -
The structuring of high latitude Aurora
(Master thesis, 2017)The interaction between the Earths magnetic field and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), originating from the Sun, is the driving force behind the aurora. Due to the phenomena of polar night, the optical signatures of ... -
The technical viability of microalgal biodiesel
(Master thesis, 2016-08-31)Biodiesel is the most energy dense renewable storage medium in terms of volumetric capacity. A large-scale introduction of this fuel could theoretically substitute petrodiesel entirely, but is to date bottlenecked by a ... -
The use of heterogeneous catalysts in the production of biodiesel
(Master thesis, 2015-02-25)In this thesis a parameter screening of the esterification of oleic acid with ethanol in the presence of the heterogeneous catalyst Amberlyst 15 wet ion exchange has been conducted with the intent to produce biodiesel. The ... -
The use of Tulsion-6812, Tulsion-63 and Amberlyst-16w in the production of biodiesel
(Master thesis, 2016-08-30)Biodiesel, a renewable fuel of a vegetal origin is continuously getting more pronounced. Fossil fuels are finite resources and a contributing factor to environmental change [1], making biodiesel an important environmental ... -
Thermal donors in Czochralski silicon wafers investigated by spectral imaging
(Master thesis, 2018)In oxygen rich CZ-material, thermal donors (TD) are formed at elevated temperatures of approximately 450°C. They are electrically active clusters of interstitial oxygen that act as double donors to the conduction band. In ... -
Thermal hydraulic feasibility of upgrading the JEEP II heavy water research reactor from 2 to 5 MW
(Master thesis, 2013-03-26)This thesis examines the thermal hydraulic feasibility of a power upgrade of the JEEP II research reactor at Institutt for Energiteknikk (IFE). The 2 MWth reactor is modelled in Matlab, a programming language and numerical ... -
The Thorvald agricultural robot : using sensor data to navigate in tall grass
(Master thesis, 2020)This master’s thesis presents algorithms and new methods for autonomous navigation of a grass cutting robot. For the purpose of the current research, the selected platform was the Thorvald II mobile grass cutting robot. ... -
Three-dimensional finite element analysis of a bolted steel-timber composite shear connection
(Master thesis, 2021)Timber use in construction has been growing in popularity in recent years. Increased awareness regarding sustainability is one of the main causes for this, as timber shows evidence of being less harmful to the environment ... -
