Hubert, Naomi (author)To use solar energy efficiently, reduce emissions and net congestion problems, prosumer households should substitute grid-consumed energy with self-consumption. Loadshifting is a low-cost measure to increase self-consumption, shifting energy-intensive behaviors (such as running the laundry machine) to periods of time when energy is produced....master thesis 2022

Rukhshi, Nida (author)Photovoltaic technology has become one of the leading renewable alternatives for energy production. One main factor in the diminished performance of a photovoltaic module is partial shading, due to the resulting mismatch conditions in the module. However, it is difficult to understand how a specific PV module reacts to shading in comparison with...master thesis 2022

Mercimek, Yavuzhan (author)As PV capacity in urban areas keeps increasing, non-uniform illumination of panels will become more prevalent. This could cause the partial shading to become more frequent, reducing PV system performance. Some ways to solve this problem is by the use of module-level maximum power point tracking (MPPT), micro inverters, or...master thesis 2022

Hablé, Joelle (author)Floating photovoltaic (FPV) is an emerging concept. Potential is recognized in combining FPV and off shore wind farms to create an offshore wind and solar farm. One of the remaining uncertainties around the potential of an offshore wind and solar farm is the value of the operations and maintenance cost. As one of the main contributing factors...master thesis 2022

Giannelli, Denis (author)In the Global South, large urban spaces resulted in the duality between the so-called ‘formal’ and ‘informal’ cities. It is the case of São Paulo, a twenty-two-million people metropolis and a financial hub in Latin America. Albeit a vast literature addresses the social-spatial segregation emerging from this dual built environment, the scarcity...master thesis 2021

Peterson Villalobos, Bertram (author)In 2017, Hurricane Maria proved how fragile Puerto Rico’s grid is to natural disasters. The consequence of this fragility was the longest power blackout in the history of the U.S., which affected 3.3 million people, lasted for 3.4 billion customer-hours, and resulted in economic losses estimated in 95 billion USD. The solution, then, is energy...master thesis 2020
