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

Reuchlin, Sweder (author)Currently, in remote off-grid locations, electricity is primarily generated using diesel generators, which is expensive and has significant carbon emissions. Alternatively, these remote locations have a huge potential for utilizing renewable energy sources. In such locations, airborne wind energy (AWE) systems could have an advantage over...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

Bdour, Ahmed N. (author), Al-Sadeq, Noor (author), Gharaibeh, Muna (author), Mendoza-Sammet, Angeles (author), Kennedy, M.D. (author), Salinas-Rodriguez, Sergio G. (author)Jordan was late in adopting seawater and brackish water desalination as a source until the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, ongoing studies are still discussing the technical, economic, and socio-political aspects of brackish water reverse osmosis (BWRO) desalination plants. In this study, the water–energy nexus was considered, in order...journal article 2022

Liu, Gang (author), Du, Zhao (author), Xiao, Tian (author), Guo, Junfei (author), Lu, Liu (author), Yang, Xiaohu (author), Hooman, K. (author)Solar energy, as a kind of renewable energy, offers a large reserve to be harvested at a reasonably low cost for engineering applications. To decouple the temporal and spatial relevance of the continuous energy supply of solar energy, latent heat thermal energy storage can deal with this problem at different temperatures. Aiming to improve...journal article 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
