Den ökande andelen variabla förnybara energikällor i det svenska elsystemet har medfört ett växande behov av flexibilitet och balanstjänster. Batterienergilagringssystem betraktas som en nyckelteknik för att möta dessa behov, men deras ekonomiska lönsamhet är i hög grad beroende av marknadens utformning, geografisk placering samt vald operativ strategi. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysThe increasing share of variable renewable energy sources in the Swedish power system has led to growing demand for flexibility and balancing services. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are widely regarded as a key technology to meet these needs, yet their economic viability depends strongly on market design, geographical location, and operational strategy. This thesis assesses the revenue pot

#104_loga, a nonlinear scale of time, for tpt, tbn. “loga, a nonlinear scale of time” refers to the illusion of nonlinear time perception. This idea suggests that our estimation of time intervals whether on a small (milliseconds) or large (decades) scale should be logarithmic, giving us a subjective experience very different from clock or calendar. Of course, our perception of time is influenced b

#100. ASEAN Voices, for erhu and 10 mixed ASEAN ensemble players (2017). Premiere: Premiered by C asean Consonant (an ASEAN traditional ensemble), during the 2017 China-ASEAN Music Week at the Guangxi University of the Arts on May 27, 2017. The conductor was Knote KnocKnote with erhu soloist Hu Liu.

Over the past decade, the advances in grating-based soft X-ray spectrometers have revolutionizedthe soft X-ray spectroscopies in materials research. However, these novel spectrometers are mostlydedicated designs, which cannot be easily adopted for applications with diverging demands. Here wepresent a versatile spectrometer design concept based on the Hettrick-Underwood optical scheme thatuses modu

In this paper I will explore two trends that I argue pose significant challenges to feminist technoscience studies as a knowledge-producing endeavour. The first is Sweden democrats’ use of figures as facts, with the hope of changing society into a fascist one. The other is the investment in natural science research infrastructure with the hope of solving societies most pressing problems. Sweden de

The use of water mist for fire extinguishment has increased rapidly in recent years. The main reason is the abandonment of halon-based extinguishing systems in favour of environmentally friendlier systems. Furthermore the use of water mist systems has spread from mainly marine applications to also include the protection of buildings. The main problem in this regard is to verify the effectiveness o

In this article we address the problem of projective reconstruction of structure and motion given only image data. In particular we investigate three novel minimal combinations of points and lines over three views, and give complete solutions and reconstruction methods for two of these cases: 'four points and three lines in three views', and 'two points and six lines in three views'. We show that

The high cost of photovoltaic modules motivates the use of reflectors to increase the electricity production. The system geometry of static low-concentrating PV systems for building-integration with parabolic aluminium reflectors was optimised for maximum annual electricity production. The optical efficiency of systems with different geometries was calculated from short-circuit current measurement

In this article we describe and analyse a system for rewarding excellence in university teaching developed at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University in Sweden. Individual teachers are rewarded for the effort they invest in the support of student learning. However, it is the organization that establishes a reward system and it does so for developmental purposes. These two purposes, individua

Single-beam side-scan sonar elements, to be fitted on a miniaturized submersible, are here simulated, manufactured, and evaluated. Finite element analysis simulations are compared with measurements, and an overall observation is that the agreement between simulations and measurements deviates from the measured values of 1.5 to 2 degrees, for the narrow lobe angle, by less than 10% for most models.

The aim of this work is to redefine the concept of sensorimotor augmentation, extending it from wearable devices to supernumerary robotic upper limbs that are grounded and can be placed out of the physiological peripersonal space of the user. While the wearability of the supernumerary robotic limb (SRL) is not mandatory, the human-robot connection must be maintained through a wearable interface th

Maternal alloantibody-induced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) remains a significant concern worldwide. Alloimmune HDFN can be pathogenetically named by the specific alloantibodies involved. Moreover, four mechanistic pathway types are generally recognized in clinical practice: classical or extravascular hemolysis; immune-pressure-escaped, also known as antibody-mediated antigen-m

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major driver of evolution and a key source of innovation in the microbial world. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs), such as plasmids and phages, often act as agents of HGT or as vehicles for cargo genes, some of which define the adaptive potential of the host organism in specific environments. These genes are involved in immunity, anti-immunity, virulence, and anti

Light chain monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (LC-MGUS) is an asymptomatic precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) and related disorders defined by abnormal free light chain (FLC) testing. Recently, revised FLC reference intervals were proposed by the iStopMM study group. We evaluated their performance in a large population-based cohort. MGUS cases were identified from the Danish Lymph

Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin-dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's characteristics. Glucuronidases (EC 3.2.1.139) and xylan α-1,2-gl
