When developing a large application, many companies use techniques such as Test Driven Development in order to get a range of tests on which they later can validate their code with. This has become the standard in many work environments. Problems arise when an application is already developed and tests has not been written in the course of the development. This makes it near impossible to validate
An increased production of fuels derived from renewable resources is required to obtain a sustainable energy production without greenhouse gas emissions. Biogas is regarded as a renewable energy source which can be used for heat, electricity, and fuel production. However, a purity of 97% methane is required if the produced biogas is to be injected to the natural-gas grid and used as vehicle fuel.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging may be used in aggregation as virtual batteries to provide a frequency regulating service to the power grid. The service is sold on the Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) markets, and is traded one and two days ahead. Forecasts of charging patterns are essential to reliably provide this ancillary service. The thesis aims to build a generalized model for forecasting
