  1. 21. Movement of Foxfonna rock glacier in Svalbard between 2017-2019

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Elias Lundström; [2020]
    Keywords : rock glacier; Svalbard; UAV; photogrammetry; movement detection; permafrost; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The movement of a rock glacier located at the bottom of the Foxfonna glacier, Svalbard, Norway, was studied through the use of photogrammetry and feature tracking software, between the years of 2017-2019, as well as elevation changes between 2009 and 2019. This could aid in further knowledge about the rapid velocity changes of rock glaciers in a continuous permafrost environment. READ MORE

  3. 22. 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

  4. 23. Experimental investigation of a de-icing system for wind turbine blades based on infrared radiation

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

    Author : Sofia Sollén; Jennifer Pettersson; [2019]
    Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Cold climate; Ice and snow; De-icing; De-icing system; Infrared radiation; Infrared heater.;

    Abstract : Wind power is one of the fastest growing production methods of electric energy. The expansion of wind power in Sweden are focused to northern counties. There are advantages as good wind conditions and large unexploited areas to build wind farms in the north, but there are also problems caused by the long winters. READ MORE

  5. 24. Assessment of a Thermal De-Icing Solution and Control Methods using Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Avd.)

    Author : Gustaf Ingvarsson; [2018]
    Keywords : Deicing; control method; LED; simulation; av-isning; kontrollmetoder; LED; simulering;

    Abstract : Lastbilar körandes i nordiska vinterförhållanden riskerar att strålkastare, och andra lyktor blir täckta utav is. Detta hindrar ljuset från att skina på vägen, något som måste åtgärdas manuellt utav föraren. READ MORE

  6. 25. Detection and removal of wind turbine ice : Method review and a CFD simulation test

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem

    Author : Ismael Bravo Jimenez; [2018]
    Keywords : renewable energy; wind turbine; ice accretion; flow simulation; CFD; wind turbine performance; anti-icing methods; de-icing methods.;

    Abstract : Nowadays, the energy sector is facing a huge demand that needs to be covered. Wind energy is one of the most promising energy resources as it is free from pollution, clean and probably will arise as one of the main energy sources to prevent global warming from happening. Almost 10% of the global energy demand is coming from renewable resources. READ MORE
