Yuan, Z. (author)
In modern power systems, there is a great demand to control the power flow actively. Power flow controlling devices (PFCDs) are required for such purpose, because the power flow over the lines is the nature result of the impedance of each line. Due to the control capabilities of different types of PFCDs, the trend is that mechanical PFCDs are...

Van der Geest, M. (author)
The electrification of transportation, and especially aerospace transportation, increases the demand for high performance electrical machines. Those machines often need to be fault-tolerant, cheap, highly efficient, light and small, and interface well with the inverter. In addition, the development time and cost are usually limited, with little...

Agbo, S.N. (author)
The need for electrical energy is growing fast as a result of the expanding world population and economic activities. On top of this the energy need of each individual is also growing. At present the growth in energy demand is not matched by the growth in energy generation because of insufficient energy production. This energy gap therefore...

The new energy policy of the European Union (EU) with the core objectives of competitiveness, reliability and sustainability, has driven Europe into a transition towards a low carbon & sustainable electricity supply systems. Under the new policy, the European energy systems are pursing two major objectives. First is to shift the focus from...

The addition of microsized fillers to polymers, in order to tailor their properties, has been extensively used in many industrial applications since the 1960s. The same approach applies to the field of electrical insulation. Epoxy resin is a widely used polymer in the electrical power sector, but it is usually loaded with microsized fillers,...

For the past two decades, electricity utilities have struggled to provide high quality electrical power to their customers while keeping on spending effectively the expenses for operating and maintaining the power system. Unfortunately, under tropical conditions, operation circumstances affect the equipment so that either its lifetime is cut...

Baalbergen, J.F. (author)
Service interruptions have a significant impact on society and therefore the main objective of power system planning and operation is to ensure that they do not happen. Because voltage instability is one of the dynamic phenomena that may result in a system-wide blackout, this type of stability problem has been an important research topic for...

Jäger, K. (author)
Nano-textured interfaces between two media of different refractive indices scatter light. The angular distribution and the intensity of the scattered light are deter- mined by the geometry of the nano-textures and the difference of the refractive indices of the two media. Thin-film silicon solar cells (TFSSC), which convert sunlight directly...

Current PCB power converter construction technologies are based on the utilization of nonstandardized building blocks. Utilization of passive components with various shapes, poor thermal properties and mixed technology mounting (THT and SMT) represents fundamental limit for reaching high power density, effective thermal management, particular...

Isabella, O. (author)
Solar energy can fulfil mankind’s energy needs and secure a more balanced distribution of primary sources of energy. Wafer-based and thin-film silicon solar cells dominate todays’ photovoltaic market because silicon is a non-toxic and abundant material and high conversion efficiencies are achieved with silicon-based solar cells. To stay...

Building-integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPV) are able to improve the energy balance of buildings. However, this improvement can be analyzed quantitatively only if the electricity yield generated by the BIPV system is calculated. This PhD thesis presents a simulation program that calculates the electricity yield generated by BIPV systems,...

Teixeira Pinto, R. (author)
When large amounts of electricity need to be transported for long distances, or when underground or submarine cables are involved, using direct current high-voltage transmission systems is more efficient and cost effective than using traditional high-voltage alternating current transmission. Therefore, the main thesis objective is to study to...

Zhang, D. (author)
It has been predicted that due to the population growth the energy demand is increasing faster and faster. It has been well recognized that depleting fossil-fuel resources will not fulfill the energy need of the future world. Not to mention the problem of global warming caused by its combustion, and of energy security as a result of geopolitical...

Andritsch, T.M. (author)
Main goal of the research described in this PhD thesis was to determine the influences of filler size, material and distribution on the DC breakdown strength, permittivity and space charge behaviour of nanocomposites. This should lay the groundwork for tailored insulation materials for HVDC applications. Examples for this are medical and...

Ani, S.O. (author)
Wind energy accounts for an increasing percentage of the energy supplied to the electricity network. Electricity generation from wind is now cheaper than other renewables and almost cost competitive with other conventional sources of electricity generation. However, this impressive growth is largely due to advances in large wind turbines,...

Since the first report on the fabrication of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) in 1965, this material has found many applications, for instance in the fabrication of solar cells, sensors and transistors. An especially notable example in the context of this thesis is thin-film silicon solar cells, which have attracted a lot of attention....

Ramirez-Elizondo, L.M. (author)
The world’s increasing energy demand and growing environmental concerns have motivated scientists to develop new technologies and methods to make better use of the remaining resources of our planet. The main objective of this dissertation is to develop a scheduling and control tool at the district level for small-scale systems with multiple...

Wank, M.A. (author)
Our modern lifestyle is currently fueled by two billion years of accumulated energy reserves. For several years now there has been a strong rise in research interest and more recently also implementation of renewable energy sources in the European Union. Driving factors for these developments are the increasing awareness of global warming in our...
