Evaluating the Impact of Altered Electricity Systems

Detta examensarbete ämnar att undersöka om och hur man skulle bygga en modell för att kunna beräkna utsläppen av växthusgaser vid förändringar av transmissionskapacitet. Arbetet avhandlar hur det nuvarande elsystemet är uppbyggt och påverkan på utsläppen av växthusgaser ifrån ökad produktion av förnyelsebar elproduktion och ökad transmission av elektricitet. Utifrån att studera vind- och lastdataIn the light of the importance of climate change and the emissions that have induced it, the ability to calculate the effect on emissions by changing transmission capacity is vital. A model to perform such indicative calculations is developed in this thesis. After researching how the current electricity system is organised, the effects on GHG emissions that are expected from increased renewable el

Paleomagnetisk undersökning av vulkanen Rangitoto, Nya Zeeland, för att bestämma dess utbrottshistoria

Rangitoto är en vulkanö som ligger nordost om Auckland, Nya Zeeland, och tillhör Aucklands vulkaniska fält (AVF) som består av ca 50 utdöda monogenetiska vulkaner. Eftersom Rangitoto har egenskaper som skiljer sig från de andra vulkanerna i området tror man att området genomgått en förändring och gått in i en ny fas. Det var ca 500 år sedan Rangitoto senast hade utbrott och eftersom storstadsområdRangitoto is a volcanic island, located northeast of Auckland, New Zealand, and belongs to Auckland Volcanic field (AVF), which consists of c. 50 extinct monogenetic volcanoes. Since Rangitoto has characteristics that makes it different from the other volcanoes in the area, it is believed that the volcanic field has undergone a change and entered a new phase.

Kundsamverkan vid agil utveckling

Agil systemutveckling är idag en utvecklingsmetod som appliceras till hög grad. Studier påvisar att det är svårt att leva upp till de agila principerna och att en av de faktorer som har inverkan på detta är samarbetet mellan kund och leverantör. Därför undersöker vi i studien hur olika faktorer inom kundsamverkan påverkar resultatet av agila projekt. I studien lyfts huvudområdet kundsamarbete fram
