1. Analysis of a Mid-size Industry LoadManagement Aggregator on the Swedish Nordic Control Market
Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriella informations- och styrsystem
Författare :Carl Petersson; [2013]
Nyckelord :;

Sammanfattning : The vast amount of research on the global climate are converging to more homogeneous results and it becomes commonly accepted that the scientists' warnings has to be taken into account. As a result, politicians set high goals for the penetration of \green electricity", trying to limit the global warming by phasing out fossil fueled power plants. LÄS MER
2. Comparative Environmental Analysis of Conventional and Hybrid Wheel Loader Technologies : A Life Cycle Perspective
Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriell ekologi; KTH/Industriell ekologi
Författare :Omer Salman; Yanbin Chen; [2013]
Nyckelord :LCA; wheel loader; hybrid technology; lithium-ion battery;

Sammanfattning : Volvo Construction Equipment is investigating the potential of hybrid wheel loaders. To determine if this new hybrid wheel loader concept is preferable from an environmental point of view to the latest G- series Volvo wheel loader, a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) has been performed on the Volvo L150G wheel loader and a hybrid wheel loader concept.

4. Life Cycle Assessment of Railway Bridges : Developing a LCA tool for evaluating Railway Bridges
Master-uppsats, KTH/KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnadJärnvägsgruppen, JVG
Författare :Lorea García San Martín; [2011]
Nyckelord :Life Cycle Assessment; LCA; Railway Bridges; Environmental impact assessment; pre-stressed concrete bridges;

Sammanfattning : The global understanding that natural resources and non renewable energy sources are not inexhaustible has been growing lately together with the increase of conscientiousness on the consequences that our demanding way of life has on the environment. Global warming, ozone layer depletion, the greenhouse effect or the acid rain, are some of these consequences, which may reach catastrophic levels if nothing is done to emend the actual situation.
