|Titel=Energy Communities - paving the way for a participatory green transition
|User=Ingebrigt Hårstad,
|Supervisor=Josef.Noll
|DueDate=2024/05/15
|ThesisStatus=Ongoing
|Objective=Energy Communities med nabolag, sameie eller liknende 
* felles kapasitet i f.eks PV og batteri, 
* energy distribution across buildings (tgnenergy model) 
* common energy contracting 

Challenges
* secondary transformator
* seasonal effects
|Methods=The tools and methods in this thesis are based on
* A set of scenario, 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 descisions taken earlier
* Conclusions
* References
|Schedule=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 shalle 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 content (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
|Approved=Pending

This page provides hints on what to include in your master thesis.

= TOC =
Title page, abstract, ...
: 1. Introduction, containing: short intro into the area, what is happening
:: 1.1 Motivation, containing: what triggered me to write about what I'm writing about
:: 1.2 Methods, containing: which methods are you using, how do you apply them

: 2. Scenario, optional chapter for explaining some use cases
:: 2.1 user scenario, (bad name, needs something bedre)
:: 2.2 Requirements/Technological challenges

: 3. State-of-the art/Analysis of technology, structure your content after hardware/SW (or other domains). Describe which technologies might be used to answer the challenges, and how they can answer the challenges
:: 3.1 technology A
:: 3.2 technology B

: 4. Implementation
:: 4.1 Architecture, functionality
:: 4.2

: 5. Evaluation
: 6. Conclusions

= Comments =
== 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).
