  1. 1. Temporary Halting of Wind Turbine Rotors toMitigate Effects on Birds

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Ola Hedberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Bird; mitigation; effect; wind farm; turbine; wind power; halting; collision; risk; birds; power; generation;

    Abstract : This study assesses the viability of temporarily halting wind turbine operations as amitigation measure to protect bird populations during migration periods. Conducted in thenorthern Baltic, it examines the migration patterns, timings, and altitudes of various birdspecies, aiming to identify the most critical times for implementing turbine stoppages.

  3. 2. Swedish Offshore Wind : Modelling development pathways to commercial viability

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

    Author : Siddharth Iyer; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Offshore wind will play an important role in Sweden’s fossil-free energy future. Although Sweden has many offshore wind farms in the planning and approval stages, few projects have been built, and little public research on which offshore wind areas and individual farms are most economically viable.

  4. 3. The Impact of an Offshore Wind Farm on a Power Grid

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

    Author : Arvid Söderberg; Tim Possekel; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Due to increasing power demands and growing importance of sustainability, more and morewind power is being built and connected to existing power systems. While wind power isboth renewable and cost-effective, it is important to note that due to its variable nature, itcan negatively impact the stability of a power system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Major Component Replacement on Floating Wind Turbines

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

    Author : Kilian Galle; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Among the challenges that floating offshore wind (FOW) energy faces today, operation and maintenanc ecosts, and especially major component replacements (MCR), are an important cost reduction lever. MCRs are defined as any failure on a wind turbine requiring the change of an entire main component of the turbine, such as a gearbox, generator, blade, nacelle, etc. READ MORE
