  1. 1. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
    Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

    Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

  3. 2. Analysis to reduce ice-related production losses for wind turbines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jhason Paran De La Cruz; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind power; cold climate; wind turbine icing; ice losses; ice protection systems; blade heating; de-icing; analytical dashboard; data visualization.; Vindkraft; kalla klimat; nedisning av vindkraftverk; isförluster; isskyddssystem; uppvärmning av blad; avisning; analysverktyg; datavisualisering.;

    Abstract : In the rapidly growing wind energy market, regions with cold climates are currently in the spotlight owing to their abundance of wind resources. However, the operation of wind turbines in cold climate conditions is challenged by serious icing problems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Determining and analysing production losses due to ice on wind turbines using SCADA data

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Oscar Felding; [2021]
    Keywords : Wind turbines; ice accretion; ice losses; SCADA; cold climate; Vindturbin; ispåbyggnad; isförluster; SCADA-data; kallt klimat;

    Abstract : Wind turbines are becoming a more common sight and a more important part in the power grid. The benefits are mainly that wind energy is a renewable energy source and a single wind turbine can produce enough electricity to cover several households’ annual electricity need and not producing carbon dioxide as a rest product.

  5. 4. Defining, analyzing and determining power losses - due to icing on wind turbine blades

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Zandra Canovas Lotthagen; [2020]
    Keywords : Wind Power; De-icing; Defining; Ice losses; Task19; Temperature threshold; Power curve; Big Data;

    Abstract : The wind power industry is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy industries in the world. Since more energy can be extracted from wind when the density is higher, a lot of the investments made in the wind power industry are made in cold climates. But with cold climates come harsh weather conditions such as icing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Tuned sustainable anodic coatings for reduced ice adhesion

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Molekylär ytfysik och nanovetenskap

    Author : Thirza Poot; [2019]
    Keywords : aluminum alloys; tartaric-sulfuric acid anodizing; ice adhesion; silanization; hydrothermal sealing; contact angle; SEM; corrosion;

    Abstract : Aluminum alloys are widely used materials in the aircraft industry due to their high specific strength and durability. The natural corrosion resistance of aluminum can be improved through an electrochemical anodizing process. READ MORE
