1. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : 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

4. Forecast-based AI Decisions for Winter Road Maintenance
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologiAbstract : In countries with freezing temperatures, proper road maintenance is an important intervention to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities and improves road passability. While de-icing using road salt can be an effective intervention, it may also lead to harmful side effects such as damage to vehicles, groundwater contamination and plant stress. READ MORE

5. Optimization of Grid Connection Capacity for Onshore Wind Farms
University essay from Uppsala universitet/ElektricitetsläraAbstract : This thesis investigates if the profitability of a wind farm can be increased by reducing itscontracted grid capacity. Two years of SCADA data is cleaned from non- and partialperformance which is used to estimate a wake reduced annual power time series. READ MORE
