1. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint
University essay fromAbstract : 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

2. Survey of Sweden’s installed wind turbine capacity and the country’s ability to handle future turbine decommissioning waste material
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The global market for wind energy is expanding rapidly, and in the last decade, Sweden has constructed thousands of wind turbines. The high installation pace suggests that a similarly rapid decommissioning rate is to be anticipated in the near future, notwithstanding the small number of turbines that have been retired thus far.

3. A Comparative Analysis of Decommissioning Scenarios Based on Radiation Dose Modeling and Multi-criteria Decision Analysis for Oskarshamn Nuclear Reactor 3 : Lessons Learned from Operating Experience in the Reuse of Decommissioned Sites
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : An increasing number of decommissioning activities are being undertaken worldwide at facilities where radioactive material has been produced, used, or managed, which will also be the case of the Oskarshamn nuclear reactor O3 in Sweden, the remaining operational unit at that power plant. Decommissioning, which seems to be the sign of ending, is, in fact, a future-oriented process that can prove successful the safe management of nuclear facilities throughout their entire lifetimes but especially after shutdown.

4. Sustainability assessment of composites in aero-engine components
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Environmental issues such as climate change are leading to important sustainability challenges in the aerospace industry. Composites are light materials that are extensively used to replace metals and reduce the aircraft weight, the goal being to decrease the fuel consumption in flight and limit the emission of greenhouse gases.

5. Assessment of creep damage in Fe-Ni-Cr alloys
University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)Abstract : It is only a matter of time before components working in high temperature environments fail due to creep. Design for creep is therefore of vital importance to maximize the lifetime of components and reduce costs that may arise from maintenance and replacement of components. READ MORE
