• System dynamics of asynchronous generators at islanded grid operation 

      Edvardsen, Håkon Molland (Master thesis, 2014-01-23)
      It is well known that the phenomenon of self-excitation allows the asynchronous generator to operate as a standalone unit. The robustness and low cost of the asynchronous generator makes it beneficial for small hydro power ...
    • System Grounding of 132kV Networks 

      Okwo, Oluchi Mercy (Master thesis, 2022)
      As the use of other renewable energy sources such as wind increases to reduce the carbon dioxide emission into the environment, the transmission and distribution network increase, and the Local Vestfold and telemark region ...
    • Temperature rise in a load break switch 

      Smestad, Peter Alexander (Master thesis, 2016)
      Given a switchgear and two different types of contacts and changeing the material of the crankcase to metal rather then using plastic. There are some limits the IEC has set, with the given changes try to improve the heat ...
    • Testing All-in-one-protection for any power distribution application using real time simulation 

      Lodhi, Ammar (Master thesis, 2021)
      The work was done as part of Master thesis at the Department of Electrical Engineering at USN, Porsgrunn, Norway.
    • Thermal capacity and loading assessment for 24 kV XLPE-insulated cables in air 

      Kwak, Hyeonyoung (Master thesis, 2021)
      Charging large battery packs requires high currents, especially for short-term charging of electric vehicles. The ohmic losses heats up power cables and is the limiting factor for the current capacity. However, the power ...
    • Thermal model parameter estimation of a hydroelectric generator using machine learning 

      Melfald, Emil (Master thesis, 2020)
      The synchronous generator have a central role in the power system, and is governed by multi-physics behaviour. A digital twin of the synchronous generator can lead to more efficient utilization in a more safe and reliable ...
    • Thermal overloading of MV metal enclosed switchgear 

      Gløsmyr, Cecilie Dortea (Master thesis, 2022)
      Going electric is an important step toward a more environmentally friendly world by reducing greenhouse gases. Some electrical devices might be able to withstand a short-term overloading, which for example can be used for ...
    • Thermal solar energy use: Modeling and optimization 

      Martín, Juan José Pérez (Master thesis, 2015-09-25)
      The sun in Norway is a very important source of energy due to the large number of hours of sunshine there are in the spring and summer months. For this reason this source of energy could replace the oil and part of the ...
    • Wind energy; CFD simulation of wakes and wind turbine forces 

      Fredriksen, Tommy (Master thesis, 2015-09-18)
      Wind power is a clean and renewable energy source, which plays an important role in the world's energy landscape. When developing a wind farm it is beneficial to analyze the flow pattern in order to maximize the total ...
