  1. 11. Evaluation of Energy Losses in a Wind Farm

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Gabriel Claesson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, the power production from wind power and other renewable energy sources has increased significantly. Arguably, this is due to the greenhouse effect and the economic benefit of generating power from the wind. Wind power has the potential to replace other non-renewable power sources. READ MORE

  3. 12. Concrete reinforced with FRP rebars : Evaluation of durability and behaviour in the Service Limit State (SLS)

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ottosson; [2021]
    Keywords : GFRP; Durability; SLS; Atena;

    Abstract : One of the most common building materials is concrete and it has been for a long time. To overcome its low tensile capacity concrete structures are normally reinforced with steel rebars. READ MORE

  4. 13. Structural temperatures of wind turbine blades under icing conditions

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Elise Brouillette; [2021]
    Keywords : Aerodynamics; Anti-icing Systems; Glass transition temperature; Heat transfer; Wind turbines;

    Abstract : As clean energy demand is on the rise and the wind energy sector in growth, locations with the highest wind potential are becoming of higher interest for wind farm projects, but they are located in colder regions. In cold climates, ice accumulation on wind turbine blades is a serious issue, both in terms of safety and performance. READ MORE

  5. 14. CFD Simulation of a Fin-Tube Evaporator under icing

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

    Author : Abhay Mahesh Hervatte; [2021]
    Keywords : CFD; Refrigeration; HVAC; Evaporator; Thermodynamics; Icing;

    Abstract : The study involves development of a methodology to simulate a fin-tube evaporator under icing conditions using CFD in Ansys® Academic Fluent 2021R1. It aims to build on previous studies performed on heat pumps. It was performed by Abhay M. Hervatte in collaboration with Bosch Thermoteknik AB, Tranås, SE during the spring term of the year 2021.

  6. 15. 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.
