This paper presents a general description of local flexibility markets as a market-based management mechanism for aggregators. The high penetration of distributed energy resources introduces new flexibility services like prosumer or community self-balancing, congestion management and time-of-use optimization. This work is focused on the flexibility framework to enable multiple participants to compete ...

This document describes study of distributed management of resources in the context of Smart City with support of multi-agent systems. The investigated points include theoretical concepts of Smart City and application of multi-agent systems, decentralized and centralized designs for agent-based solutions and aspects of interactions between different self-interested agents. The document explores ...

In this master thesis, a small rotary actuator with wire driveline intendent for space solutions is developed and tested. The replication of the environment with focus on surface friction, surface roughness, and more dynamical related features are considered. Features like temperature, vibration, radiation and more are excluded to limit the size. This because the field of interest in this iteration ...

Norway has very high flexibility in energy production since hydropower covers about 95% of yearly energy demand. It is best to have a combination of wind and hydropower and hence it applies perfectly here in Norway. The performance of the wind farm can be significantly enhanced by employing full-capacity converters. The state-of-the-art literature study has been done on Squirrel Cage Induction ...

Denne oppgaven har hatt til hensikt å utarbeide et rammeverk for modellering og simulering av husholdningsapparater i Simulink, hvor det er muligheter for sammenkobling av flere enheter basert på typiske utstyr i norske husholdninger. Tilkoblingen av modellene kan være via TN-nett, IT-nett eller andre mindre kilder i Simulink. Videre er det gjennomført en litteraturstudie av ulike typer utstyr ...

This thesis describes building information modeling focusing on the fourth dimension using a specific software. Within this possibilities and challenges with the use of the fourth dimension during an ongoing project are presented, as well as suggestions on how this can be communicated on site. The literature study describes basic theory for both project planning, project management and building ...

Virtual Design and Construction er en arbeidsmetodikk som bygger på Lean-tankegangen og setter mennesker, prosesser og nye verktøy i en logisk rekkefølge og sammenheng. VDC består av 4 byggesteiner; Bygningsinformasjonsmodellering (BIM), Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE), målinger og prosesser. Ved bruk av ICE-sesjoner vil det optimalt sett føre til integrert og tverrfaglig prosjektering. For ...

The report discuss requirement established/set by Planning and Building Act (PBL), Technical Regulations (TEK) and responsibilities that client representant has for the control of FDV handover. The consequences due to loss of FDV -documents for those who manage, operate, maintain and develop a building can be a cost and quality concern after the project is completed and handed over. NS 3456:2010 ...

During 4 field days in the years 2009–2011, 22 data sets of measurements were collected in the inner Oslofjord, Norway. The data consist of recordings of spectral nadir radiances in air and water as well as spectral downward irradiance in air. The studied wavelengths are 351, 400, 413, 443, 490, 510, 560, 620, 665, 681, 709 and 754 nm. The water-leaving radiance and the reflected radiance at the ...

"Energy consumption in European countries is increasing in significant amount each year. EU countries are becoming more concerned towards environmental safeguarding along with energy production. Wind and solar power have increased their market in many power systems in the recent decades and the main limitation is that they are greatly time dependent and are not available all the time to cope with ...
