Seasonal Energy Storage in Post-Industrial Sites

Seasonal Energy Storage in Post-Industrial Sites

Supervisor(s)	Josef.Noll

Status	Finished
Problem description:	The RQ1: What are the equivalent heat flux parameters of a cave consisting of sub-caves? RQ2: What is the overall heat storage capability of a cave, and how can it be used for district heating? RQ3: What information can we retrieve from the hourly temperature “tilstand” in the cave? RQ4: From a technical point of view, how much extra energy/heat needs to be provided to keep the steady state condition of the cave? Alternative: techno-economical point of view, what is the profitability of the conversion of the caves to become a thermal storage reservoir?
Methods and Tools:	The tools and methods in this thesis are based on A set of scenarios, describing the challenges A list of requirements being extracted from the scenarios A description and evaluation of technologies and tools being candidates for solutions A functional architecture/description of the envisaged system An implementation of the core concepts A demonstration of the solution An evaluation of the solution, including a critical review of the decisions taken earlier Conclusions References
Time schedule	Short Thesis (adapt to weeks) The envisaged time schedule (for a long thesis/60 ECTS) is: T0 0 starting month, T0+m denotes the month where the contribution to a certain chapter should be finalized T0+2 months: create an initial page describing the scenario T0+3: Provide a list of technologies which you think are necessary for the thesis T0+4: Establish the table of contents (TOC) of the envisaged thesis. Each section shall contain 3-10 keywords describing the content of that section T0+7: Provide a draft of section 2 (scenario) and 3 (technologies) T0+10: Establish a draft on what to implement/architecture T0+11: Set up an implementation, testing and evaluation plan T0+15: Evaluate your solution based on a set of parameters, keep in mind there is no such thing as a free lunch T0+17: Deliver the thesis
Pre-Knowledge	This thesis includes a reasonable amount of programming. The envisaged thesis is based on radio communications, thus expects the user to have followed at least two radio-related courses

Red line

Your thesis should have a "red line", which is visible throughout the whole thesis. This means you should mention in the beginning of each chapter how the chapter contributes to the "goals of the thesis".

Use of scientific methods

A thesis follows a standard method:

• describe the problem (problemstilling)
• extract the challenges. These challenges should be measurable, e.g. method is too slow to be useful to voice handover.
• Analyse technology with respect to challenges. Don't write & repeat "everything" from a certain technology, concentrate on those parts (e.g. protocols) which are of importance for your problem

References

• Wikipedia is good to use to get an overview on what is happening. But there is not scientific verification of Wikipedia, thus you should use wikipedia only in the introduction of a chapter (if you use text from wikipedia). Use scientific literature for your thesis.
• Scientific library is "at your hand", you can get there directly from UiO: [[How to get access to IEEE, Springer and other scientific literature -> Unik/UiOLibrary]]
• I suggest that references to web pages, e.g. OASIS, W3C standards, are given in a footnote. Only if you find white papers or other .pdf documents on a web page then you refer to them in the reference section.

Evaluation of own work

Perform an evaluation of your own work. Revisit the challenges and discuss in how you fulfilled them. Provide alternative solution and discuss what should be done (or what could have been done).
