(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-09-13)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decision
Covenantee: University of California, IrvineVariable speed limits (VSL) are an effective method for preventing, eliminating, or delaying the occurrence of capacity drop at active bottlenecks. Many studies are focused on feedback algorithms to adapt ... -
Resource, recycling and waste challenges for storage resources in a 100% renewable economy
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-09-05)
Bachelor thesis
Open Access
Covenantee: University of California, IrvineIn this thesis, the battery storage needed for a 100% renewable economy was calculated. It was determined that the use of batteries as a worldwide energy storage solution is not viable. Other systems, such as power-to-gas, ... -
