In order to improve the energy efficiency in district heating networks and the comfort of their customers, these networks need to overcome the problem of unfair heat distribution under heat deficits. This paper introduces a new strategy to achieve this thermal fairness objective: it is lowcost in terms of communication and computation. The proposed approach is illustrated on a simulation example.
The aim of this essay was to examine how an abusive man is perceived from a professional point of view. We examined if the male abusers had certain traits in common, what causes a man to abuse and what treatment there is for the abuser. Socialstyrelsens reports 2006 that violence against women in Sweden is estimated to a cost of 2,7 to 3,3 billlion a year. Based on qualitative interviews with semi
Increased adoption of PV systems can help to mitigate climate change as it increases the use of renewable energy instead of fossil fuels and thus decreases greenhouse gas emissions.
The main options for deep decarbonisation of primary steel production are to continue using coal and employ carbon capture and storage (CCS) or to change the production process to direct reduction by utilizing hydrogen produced from renewable energy resources. In India, the world's second-largest steel producer, a shift to renewables is inhibited by the current power market regime, which includes
The last 20 years efforts to find a long-term and large-scale biofuel alternative to petrol and diesel for the transport sector have been intensified with a focus on liquid biofuels, such as ethanol, methanol and Fischer-Tropsh diesel derived from wood. The large-scale production of biomethane has so far largely been overlooked in comparative studies that focus on the long-term renewable options.
Abstract in UndeterminedThe objective of the report is to analyse simulation results coming from the use of a policy evaluation method that encompasses a wider set of determinants for technology choice. To that end, we use the EEB_Sweden model v1.0. Still in an early stage of development, the model offers an opportunity to capture or integrate critical modelling aspects that justify our research p
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bioteknik är ett mycket brett ämne som handlar om att använda biologiska reaktioner för att tillverka önskvärda produkter. Det innefattar arbete med mikroorganismer, svampar, enzymer och att få dem att göra som man vill. Enzymer är naturens egna katalysatorer som gör att reaktioner går snabbare utan att själva förbrukas och de är till exempel en viktig del i vår matsmälInterest in sustainable development has increased throughout society during the past decades, and the chemical industry is no exception. The appeal for renewable raw materials has consequently increased and has paved the way for the implementation of industrial biotechnology. Since enzymes are used to convert biomass in nature, they may also be a good choice in the chemical industry. However, to i
The experience from electricity market reform in Sweden is reviewed and new approaches to promote improvements and investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy are discussed. On the first of January 1996 a new Swedish Electricity Act went into force, making it possible for consumers and retailers of electricity to choose between competing suppliers. Introducing competition fundamentally c
Nanowire solar cells are a promising candidate for future photovoltaic applications as they promise the high efficiency of thin film III-V semiconductor solar cells while simultaneously keeping the costs low, due to reduced material consumption. In order to progress towards this direction, further understanding is needed to optimize the power conversion efficiencies of nanowire single junction sol
Improving energy performance in the Swedish multifamily building stock is an important undertaking in order to reach national and international targets for energy efficiency. However, growing economic inequalities in Sweden, manifested in the multifamily building stock as housing inequalities that entail segregation, overcrowding, and differences in standard of living, have led to low-income house
The transition to a low-carbon society requires a deep transformation, enabled by rapid adoption of new energy technologies. A main driver for this will be technology learning, providing cost reductions in low-carbon technologies. Over the past two decades, learning has provided substantial cost reductions for a number of hardware technologies, such as PV modules, wind turbines, and battery packs,
The development of LED light has been rapid in the last decade and it has become the most attractive lighting solution for many buyers. The reasons have to do with the high energy efficiency of these lamps as compared to the traditional incandescent lamps. As society is trying to cope with climate change threats and all the connected issues related to nature and life of people, all opportunities t
Lunds universitets fyra campus ska erbjuda attraktiva akademiska miljöer som tydligt visar universitetets identitet. Forskning och lärande står i centrum, samtidigt som campusen också fungerar som platser för social interaktion, återhämtning och rekreation – allt i en trygg och inkluderande miljö. Universitetets campus utvecklas kontinuerligt för att möta behoven i ett samhälle i förändring. Lokal

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St
