  1. 1. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

    Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
    Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

  3. 2. THE WIND OF CHANGE – SENSITIVITY OF THREE PARAMETERS ON WIND POWER ENERGY CALCULATIONS USING WINDPRO SOFTWARE

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nina Skuja; [2023]
    Keywords : Error; Sensitivity; WindPRO; Wind Power; Wind Speed; Roughness; Power Curve; Energy Production; Wind Resource Assessment;

    Abstract : Many parameters used for Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) have uncertainty and variability, yet are input into the process as single values. The extent of the uncertainty or variance may not be known, and may or may not be significant enough to affect output. READ MORE

  4. 3. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint

    University essay from

    Author : Daniel Hagfeldt; [2022]
    Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Wind Turbine Blade; Recycling; Glass fibre; Carbon fibre; Centre-of-gravity method;

    Abstract : The goal of the European Union is to make strides towards a circular economy. This means recycling or re-using as much of the material in the economic system as possible. The wind industry faces a great challenge in the years to come as huge quantities of increasingly larger wind turbines reach the end of their service-life. READ MORE

  5. 4. Combining energy harvesting sources for increased system availability and using an input switching algorithm to maximise battery lifetime

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Anton Hylander; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Energy harvesting is commonly used for powering low power electronics, for example Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Many energy sources are natural (e.g. solar or wind), thus the harvested power can depend on weather, time of day, and time of year. READ MORE

  6. 5. Towards sustainable shipping: Recommendations for the telescopic mast design of a sailing cargo vessel

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Lukas Blau; [2021]
    Keywords : Oceanbird; telescopic mast; conceptual design; sailing cargo vessel;

    Abstract : A comparative study is carried out to investigate the most promising route towardsthe lightweight construction of a retractable mast for a sailing cargo vessel.Four design families are developed and compared. The primary criteria forjudgment are the structural mass, strength, and stiffness in relation to a providedbenchmark design. READ MORE
