Sustainable Tokyo 2040 student competition seminar
In partnership with the Gadelius Group, 120 students in the master’s course Energy Management (MJ2410) are creating sustainable energy system proposals for Tokyo. Twenty teams are competing for the opportunity to travel to Tokyo and pitch their ideas at the Swedish Embassy to Japan. The top five groups will present their proposals at this KTH event where the winning team will be chosen. The seminar will be of interest to anyone from business, government, or academia involved with sustainable cities and innovation. Everyone is welcome to get a glimpse of the future in urban energy systems!
When: Monday June 4th at 14:00
Where: KTH Main Stockholm campus, Room E1, Lindstedtsvägen 3 (Map)
Space is limited so please register at the www.energy.kth.se/SustainableTokyo2040

New projects will identify future refrigerants
Projects dealing with future refrigerants have been received support from the Swedish Energy Agency within its new program TERMO - heating and cooling for the future energy system.
The focus of the first project, future secondary refrigerants, will be given to environmentally friendly and energy efficient secondary fluids for indirect systems with low pumping power and
good heat transfer properties. Such fluids are necessary in order to increase the use of future refrigerants that are often flammable and/or toxic and thus their use is limited in direct refrigeration systems.
Second project, new refrigerants for environmentally friendly systems, will focus on providing data, support and information on alternative refrigerants with low GWP for existing and new heat pump and refrigeration systems. The transition to low GWP refrigerants have just started and implementation of such refrigerants rise up a number of questions that should be adequately answered. An important objective of this project is therefore to disseminate information to Swedish industry on timely basis.
If you want to know more about the projects and planned activities, get back to us by replying to this email.

Enerstock 2018: KTH EGI Thermal Energy Storage Groups’ contributions
The 14th international conference on energy storage: Enerstock 2018 was held on the 25th to 28th April at Çukurova University in Adana,Turkey. This conference happens every third year. At Enerstock 2018, thermal energy storage (TES) group performed several oral and poster presentations (as listed below). At the conference, Shoma Fuji (he underwent a research exchange at KTH in 2017 joining the KTH TES group) won the best paper award in the thermochemical storage category. The next conference of this Stock conference series will occur in Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2021.
Oral Presentations:
- Numerical Investigation of Melting in a Cavity with Vertically Oriented Fins. Amir Abdi, Viktoria Martin and Justin Chiu.
- Numerical and Experimental Validation of Latent Heat Based Mobile Thermal Energy Storage. Justin NW Chiu, Livio Jaconelli, Anton Pettersson Thurfjell and Marion Maurel.
- Development of Zeolite Boiler in Thermochemical Energy Storage and Transport System Utilizing Unused Heat from Sugar Mill. Shoma Fujii, Ko Nakaibayashi, Yuichiro Kanematsu, Yasunori Kikuchi and Takao Nakagaki.
- Thermal Conductivity Measurement of Erythritol, Xylitol and Their Blends for Phase Change Materials Design-a Methodological Study. Saman Nimali Gunasekara, Monika Ignatowicz, Justin NingWei Chiu andViktoria Martin.
Poster Presentation: Cavern Thermal Energy Storage for District, Justin NW Chiu, Rami Alfasfos,Magnus Swedblom, Staffan Stymne, Jean-Francois Olivier and Bertil Johansson.
Chairing: of the Waste Heat Applications session by Justin Chiu
