A Powerful Future : Modelling European power demand until 2050 / En Kraftfull Framtid : Scenarier av Europas elanvändning fram till 2050

Ridderstrand, Jacob, Tenfält, Markus January 2021 (has links)
A Powerful Future explores the future electricity demand in Europe until 2050 for the industry, transport, and residential sector. This is done through a bottom-up model capturing the essential parameters for each sector combined with statistics on electricity and energy demand giving two scenarios on future power demand in Europe – High Electrification and Baseline. The electricity demand is built in Excel’s data modelling tool, at the request of Sweco. One aspect of this project also involves challenges when constructing this tool. The resolution will be yearly and economic aspects and feasibility of the electrification have not been investigated in this project. The focus of the project is to capture the most essential activities and technologies affecting the power demand in Europe to be included in the model, and less focus on analyzing each country. The annual results until 2050 for both scenarios show a significant increase in power demand in Europe due to the electrification of the industry and transport sector. The transport sector will reach approximately 550 TWh in Baseline and 600 TWh in High Electrification, while the industrial power demand will reach ~2 000/~2 700 TWh in the Baseline -/High Electrification scenario. These two sectors will account for the biggest increase in power demand while households will have a small increase in power demand. The total modeled annual electricity demand 2050 will be ~5 000/~5 900 TWh in the Baseline -/High Electrification scenario and will be approximately a doubling of the electricity demand 2021. / A Powerful Future utforskar den framtida efterfrågan av el i Europa fram till 2050 för industri, transport och hushållssektorn. Detta görs genom en bottom-up modell som infångar viktiga parametrar för varje sektor kombinerat med historiska data av energi- och elbehov för två olika scenarier för Europa –Baseline och Högelektrifiering. Elbehovet modelleras genom Excels datamodellerings-verktyg, som byggts på Swecos förfrågan. En aspekt i detta projekt involerar utmaningar när ett eget verktyg för detta ska konstrueras. Upplösningen är årlig och ekonomiska aspekter såväl som genomförbarhet har inte undersökts närmare i projektet. Resultat från projektet visar på en signifikant ökning i elbehov i Europa på grund av elektrifiering i industri- och transportsektorn. Transportsektorn kommer kräva circa 600 TWh el i Högelektrifieringsscenariet och 550 TWh i Baselinescenariet, emedan industrisektorns elbehov kommer att nå 2 000/2 700 TWh i Baseline-/Högelektrifieringsscenariet. Dessa två sektorer komma stå för den största ökningen i elbehov emedan hushållssektorn kommer stå för en liten ökning. Det totala elbehovet 2050 har modellerats till 5 000/5 900 TWh i Baseline-/Högelektrifieringsscenariet och är ungefär en fördubbling av elbehovet 2021.

Managing future uncertainties through scenario analysis: : A case study on European financial markets from the perspective of a stock exchange / Hantering av framtida osäkerheter genom scenarioanalys: : En fallstudie på europeiska finansiella marknader från ett börsperspektiv

Börjesson, Philip, Larsson, Patrik January 2020 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to investigate how scenario analysis can be used to strategically prepare for the future during uncertain times. The purpose is also to identify uncertainties and trends that could shape the future European financial markets and to develop projections of alternative futures on which a stock exchange could base their strategic decisions. A literature review was conducted which provides insights and tools in order to perform a scenario analysis. This study then investigates how scenario analysis can be applied to European financial markets with a time horizon of 10 years, from the perspective of the case company Nasdaq. The investigation is conducted as an instrumental case study where 12 respondents within Europe’s financial markets have been interviewed. Five of the respondents are case company employees and seven of the respondents are external that cover a wide range of specialties within financial markets. The results show that there are eight key drivers that were considered important and uncertain for the development of European financial markets by year 2030. Four interpretations of these drivers that the case company considered the most interesting were combined into six scenario matrices which resulted in 24 unique scenarios. Three of these were described in detail where future business environments were evaluated through the use of the theoretical framework Porter’s five forces. The scenarios presented in this study are: • Scenario 1: Further globalization and increased competition from alternative marketplaces. • Scenario 2: There has been a further consolidation of stock exchanges and exchanges have remained the dominant marketplace for financial products. • Scenario 3: Brexit will have a major impact on financial markets and more regional economies. The scenarios show how some of the identified drivers could shape the future business environment. These projections of alternative futures can be used by a stock exchange in their strategic decision making and enables the multi-level strategic conversation within the organization to develop and continue. Such a conversation helps establish a shared mental model of the external environment and the organization itself. Since the business environment is ever changing, the aim is to continuously use scenario analysis to evaluate and improve strategic discussions. It also allows organizations to learn and change from its own experiences to identify new opportunities. And since there can be no learning without action, the ultimate aim of scenario analysis is to make an impact on strategic decisions by taking reflection-based action. / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur scenarioanalys kan tillämpas för att på ett strategiskt sätt förbereda sig på en möjligen osäker framtid. Syftet är också att identifiera osäkerheter och trender som skulle kunna forma finansiella marknader i Europa och utifrån dessa, utveckla projektioner av alternativa framtider som en börs kan använda sig av för att basera strategiska beslut på. En litteraturstudie genomfördes vilket gav insikter och verktyg för utförandet av en scenario analys. Denna studie undersökte sedan hur scenario analys kan appliceras på de europeiska finansiella marknaderna från ett börs-perspektiv med en tidshorisont på 10 år. Undersökningen genomfördes genom en instrumental fallstudie där 12 respondenter inom Europas finansiella marknader intervjuades. Fem av respondenterna var från fallföretaget och sju respondenter var externa som tillsammans täcker ett brett spektrum av specialistkunskaper inom finansiella marknader. Resultatet av studien visar att det finns åtta nyckelfaktorer som ansågs vara både viktiga och osäkra för utvecklingen av Europas finansiella marknader till år 2030. Fyra tolkningar av dessa faktorer som fallföretaget ansåg vara de mest intressanta kombinerades och bildade sex scenariomatriser som resulterade i 24 unika scenarion. Tre av dessa är beskrivna i detalj där det framtida affärsmiljöerna är utvärderade utifrån det teoretiska ramverket Porter’s five forces. De scenarion som presenteras i studien är: • Scenario 1: Ökad konkurrens från alternativa marknadsplatser och fortsatt globalisering. • Scenario 2: Börser är fortsatt den dominanta marknadsplatsen för finansiella produkter och det har varit en fortsatt konsolidering av börser. • Scenario 3: Mer regionala ekonomier och Brexit har haft en stor påverkan på finansiella marknader. Scenariona visar hur några av de identifierade nyckelfaktorerna kan komma att forma den framtida affärsmiljön. Dessa projektioner av alternativa framtider kan fungera som underlag för börser i strategiskt beslutsfattande och de möjliggör den strategiska konversationen inom organisationen att utvecklas och fortsätta. Sådan typ av konversation hjälper till att skapa en delad mental modell av den externa miljön och organisationen i sig. Eftersom affärsmiljön är i ständig förändring är målet att kontinuerligt använda scenarioanalys för att utvärdera och förbättra strategiska beslut. Det tillåter också organisationer att lära sig och genomföra förändringar baserat på egna erfarenheter för att identifiera nya möjligheter. Eftersom det inte kan finnas något lärande utan åtgärder, är det ultimata målet med scenarioanalys att påverka strategiska beslut genom att vidta reflektionsbaserade åtgärder.

Exploring User Requirements for the Design of an Electronic Patient Decision Aid for Guardians Making Treatment Decisions about Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Tahir, Irtaza 11 1900 (has links)
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) describes a set of autosomal recessive diseases which affect enzymes mediating steroid biochemistry in the adrenal glands. In chromosomal females, the excess androgens associated with CAH cause virilization. Females with a high degree of virilisation can undergo feminizing genitoplasty in infancy or later in life. Parents and guardians are the medical proxies for their infants and therefore make decisions on their behalf. However, decision-making about feminizing genitoplasty can be very difficult. One tool that could help in such a situation is an electronic patient decision aid (PtDA). However, a PtDA for feminizing genitoplasty does not exist and there is insufficient information in existing literature to inform its design and development. Thus, the objectives of this study were to: (1) Identify user requirements, (2) Develop specifications for the design and development of the PtDA, and (3) Understand the best way to implement and distribute the PtDA We used the persona-scenario methodology to acquire user-requirements. Persona-scenario sessions were conducted with four parents of children with CAH, two adult patients with CAH, and four healthcare practitioners. Participants created fictitious personas, and scenarios wherein their personas interacted with an idealized version of the PtDA. Transcripts of these persona-scenarios and facilitator notes were analyzed to identify user-requirements, which were interpreted into specifications. Participants provided user requirements about (1) information and decisional content in the PtDA, (2) proposed functionalities for the PtDA, (3) web usability, and (4) implementation context. Many of these requirements are supported by existing literature. The requirements identified in this project will inform the design and development of a PtDA for feminizing genitoplasty in patients with CAH. However, further research is necessary to understand how to best implement these requirements and to ensure that the gathered information is useful for a broad range of potential end users. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
