"The role of renewable sources of energy in combating climate change cannot be over-emphasized. Profound measures taken especially by the European Union (EU) in reducing global rising temperatures has seen massive development of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. This strategic plan taken by the EU has led to the an increase in national efforts to promote further development of ...

"There is a need for a stretcher, which can also function as a sledge, especially for rescue missions in arctic climate, as the extraction point may only be accessible by people by foot or on skies. Existing solutions have some flaws, and some are not specifically designed for arctic conditions. The task is to develop a multi-purpose stretcher, operable by two members of the rescue team. In ...

Abstract Modern power systems need more intelligence and flexibility to maintain and control a generation load balance from subsequent serious disturbances due to the emerging of more renewable energy sources. This problem is becoming more significant today because of the increasing number of micro-grids (MGs). MGs usually use renewable energies in electrical production those fluctuate naturally. ...

In today’s distribution system, the dominating type of current used is AC. In newer time, improvements have been done within the field of DC. The developments that are achieved, are in terms of converter efficiency and conversion capabilities. Along with development of DC equipment, the use and development of renewable energy sources have increased. This has brought up the topic of using DC in the ...

In this thesis, the designing of a grid-connected photovoltaic system for the power electronic laboratory of UiT- Campus Narvik has been carried out. The relevant topics and literature regarding the elements in a photovoltaic system and grid connection standards have been studied and reviewed. A system with the capacity and ratings of solar modules currently available has been designed in Simulink. ...

This Master thesis presents an approach on using Artificial Intelligence to create stories for games. The Master thesis explores the posibility of using Augmented Transition Network and Ontology as a solution.

This report presents the design and simulation of code and carrier tracking system for a GNSS receiver. The GNSS receiver processes the signal sent by satellites in space. These signal contain carrier wave signal, ranging code and navigation data in encrypted form. To demodulate the navigation data, the processing block should accurately track the phase of incoming code and the frequency of incoming ...

Oppgaven retter fokus mot hvordan vi tradisjonelt planlegger fremdriften i byggeprosjekter i dag, og hvordan digitale verktøy som 4D BIM klarer å effektivisere planleggingen. I tillegg vil også Lean filosofien befinne seg i ulike planleggingsmetoder, man ønsker å skape verdi både for selskapet, kundene og alle andre deltakere som er involvert i prosjektet. Dermed ønsker man å skape flyt i produksjonen ...

I mange tilfeller blir den dynamiske impulslasten fra steinsprang konvertert til en ekvivalent statisk last, på grunn av dempningsmaterialer som blir brukt som et beskyttelseslag på taket av overbygg. Dermed finnes mange ulike metoder for å konvertere den dynamiske lasten om til en ekvivalent statisk last på i ulike land, ut ifra geografiske begrensninger og materialegenskaper til beskyttelseslaget. ...

This thesis aims to give an idea on how we can build an energy efficient buildings on different climatic zones with a use of passive house design strategy saving significant amount of energy. SIMIEN software was used to analyze the energy use of common and modified house along with the thermal comfort of the residential building in Kathmandu. During simulation changes in features like addition of ...
