What I propose is a winter, when the spring arrives and the surf wave power plant that also offers facilities for season is over, the facilities cease to exist. the surfers at Kåsa, one of the most popular surf beaches in Sweden. A quick explanation of how I intend to do this is to extract the heat from the sand dunes, so that a frozen shell of sand is created. The excess heat is used to warm up another part of the dune. In other words, the cool is used for construction and the heat for comfort. sand dune EXTRACTION heat cool comfort construction 4 PROGRAM As the daylight breaks the clear sky a car rolls The hail proves to be persistent and the soaked This is not a sauna in the ordinary sense but an area where surfers down towards Kåsa.

Det finns nu 1 956 tätorter i Sverige. År 2010 upphörde 29 områden som tätorter på grund av minskad befolkning. 12 tätorter slogs samman med annan tätort och i en tätort är andelen fritidshus för hög för att den skall klassificeras som tätort. Flest nya tätorter har tillkommit i Stockholms län (16 st) och Skåne län (10 st). En tätort definieras kortfattat som ett område med sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Ingen hänsyn tas till kommun- eller länsgränser. 85 procent av landets befolkning bor i tätort År 2010 bodde 8 016 000 personer i tätorter, vilket motsvarar 85 procent av Sveriges hela befolkning. Tätortsbefolkningen ökade med 383 000 personer mellan 2005 och 2010. Störst har ökningen varit i Stockholms län, följt av Skå- ne och Västra Götaland län. Sju tätorter har fler än 100 000 invånare – Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Upp- sala, Västerås, Örebro och Linköping. Där bor sammanlagt 28 procent av Sveri- ges befolkning. Av samtliga tätorter har 118 stycken fler än 10 000 invånare och 795 stycken färre än 500 invånare. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten mätt som invånare per km2 har ökat från 1 446 till 1 491 under perioden.

The following three municipalities participated in the study; Gotland, Falkenberg and Piteå. They have in common large scale plans to expand wind power and aim for increased use of biofuels. Otherwise, the conditions in their energy systems differ regarding the infra- structure and local energy balances, illuminating the concept of Power to gas from different perspectives. In a large scale expansion of wind power, its share of the electricity production can become so large locally, that all the electricity cannot be consumed due to limitations in the electricity network.

  • Balgö Uppvisar Ett Naturskönt Odlingslandskap Med Många Tydliga Balgö Spår Efter Den Omfattande Jordbruksverksamhet Som Tidigare Bedri- Vits På Ön
    206 20 Balgö uppvisar ett naturskönt odlingslandskap med många tydliga Balgö spår efter den omfattande jordbruksverksamhet som tidigare bedri- vits på ön. Balgö var bebodd året runt till 1966. Idag består ön av Lindbergs socken ett bitvis kargt betespräglat kulturlandskap i yttersta kustbandet. De varierade naturbetesmarkerna utgör historiska biotoper med mycket höga natur- och kulturvärden. Till miljön hör fina stenmu- rar samt en välbevarad gårdsbebyggelse, med bl.a. två manbyggna- der samt två mäktiga ladugårdar från sent 1800-tal. I strandnära lägen ligger fornlämningar som gravrösen och tomtningar. Balgö utgör ett ovanligt fint exempel på ett skärgårdsjordbruk, vars skif- tande historia avspeglar människors förmåga till försörjning i en utsatt miljö. Ön har därtill en spännande historia, bl.a. som plats för nordiska kungamöten under medeltid. 207 Balgö ligger i yttersta kustbandet cirka en kilometer utanför Tångaberg och är med sina 250 hektar landområde den största av Hallands öar. Det i sydväst liggande Grässkär är skilt från huvudön med ett vadbart sund. Balgö har ett varierat och innehållsrikt odlingslandskap, med mån- ga välbevarade markslag och spår efter äldre tiders jordbruksaktiviteter, vilka åt- minstone går tillbaka till 1600-talet. Be- byggelsen ligger samlad på en tomt cen- tralt på ön, väl avgränsad mot omgivande marker av vällagda stenmurar. Landskapet på det flacka Balgö består av en mosaik av betade f.d. åker- och Balgö ligger strax utanför Tångaberg. Ön präglas numera av ett betat stenmurslandskap. Inägomarken låg på öns norra del och i söder bredde utmarken ut sig. gräsmarker samt utmarker. Naturbe- tesmarken utgörs bl.a. av hällmarkshe- dar med ljung och enbuskar, torr- och friskängar, strandängar samt kala klap- perstensfält och strandvallar.

FINAL REPORT FOR THE YEARS 2017-2019 Authors: Ulf Ranhagen & Anna Gustafsson Corresponding author: [email protected] © Mistra Urban Futures, 2020:6 www.mistraurbanfutures.org ISBN: 978-91-984166-4-0 Mistra Urban Futures is an international Centre for sustainable urban development. We believe that the coproduction of knowledge is a winning concept for achieving sustainable urban futures and creating accessible, green and fair cities. The Centre is hosted by Chalmers University of Technology and has five platforms in Cape Town, Kisumu, Gothenburg, Skåne and Sheffield-Manchester as well as a node in Stockholm. Mistra Urban Futures is financed by the research foundation Mistra and Sida, together with a consortium comprising: Chalmers University of Technology, the University of Gothenburg, the City of Gothenburg, the Gothenburg Region Associ- ation of Local Authorities (GR), IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, the County Administrative Board of Västra Götaland, and the Region of Västra Göta- land, along with funders on the various regional platforms. From 2020 Mistra Urban Futures continues into two different organisations. One being a new organisation under the name Centre for Sustainable Urban Futures, which is a continuation of the previous work of Mistra Urban Futures in Gothen- burg and Sweden. While the parts of the international work will be integrated within a new organisation Global Sustainable Futures. Both organisations are inte- grated under Gothenburg Centre for Sustainable Development (GMV), co-hosted by Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University.

Core stability calculations depend on the accurate evaluation of the feedback mechanisms: Doppler coefficient, computed by the lattice physics code, and on the nodal fuel temperature and moderator density distributions computed by the steady state code. This paper contains the results of typical PWR transient scenarios for which the core stability and axial xenon transients have been assessed. Such core follow axial xenon transients have been studied by means of the Studsvik CMS code package (CASMO5 and SIMULATE5). SIMULATE5 calculations have been performed for the Ringhals-2, Ringhals-3 and Ringhals-4 (PWRs) over a wide range of operating conditions – including detailed load follow and coast down operation. The more negative Doppler coefficient predicted by CASMO5 and the fuel temperatures computed by SIMULATE5 result in good agreement with plant data during xenon transients. I. INTRODUCTION Ringhals AB is a Swedish nuclear power site with four reactors units, three pressurized water reactors and one boiling water reactor.
