1. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.

2. Simulation Model - Grid Connection of a Marine Current Power Turbine
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : Renewable energy is a reliable source of energy and can provide promising solution to the on-going energy crisis if harnessed properly. Some of the common energy sources in which a lot of research is invested include wind,solar, water and biofuels. READ MORE

3. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

4. Dynamics of a CRAFT : A simulation study on a Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine
University essay from Uppsala universitet/ElektricitetsläraAbstract : In this thesis the Counter Rotating vertical Axis Floating Tilting wind turbine (CRAFT) has been explored by creating a simulation model in the program Simulink. The CRAFT prototype is a new type of wind turbine under development by World Wide Wind and Uppsala University with the aim to produce a large scale floating vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with two cone shaped counter rotating turbines.

5. Study on feasibility of small-scale pumped hydro storage- A case study in Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. READ MORE
