1. 1. Dynamic simulation and 3D visualization of a floating tilted counter-rotating vertical axis offshore wind turbine

   University essay from

   Author : Lovisa Jonsson; Alexander Hedene; Klara Österling; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind turbine; Offshore; VAWT; CRVT; Simulation; Visualization; MATLAB; Dynamics;

   Abstract : The growing global demand for clean energy is critical, and wind power plays a crucial role in addressing this need. The increasing demand is driving advancements in the field of offshore wind power and one promising innovation is the counter-rotating vertical axis turbines (CRVT), specifically designed for floating wind power installations.

3. 2. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Vatsalkumar Manavar; [2023]
   Keywords : Savonius wind turbine; Computational fluid dynamics; Vertical axis wind turbine; Overlap ratio; Distance between blades; Power coefficient;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

   Abstract : Due to the increase of rotor size in horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) during the past 25 years in order to achieve higher power output, all wind turbine components and blades in particular, have to withstand higher structural loads. This upscalingproblem could be solved by applying technologies capable of reducing aerodynamic loads the rotor has to withstand, either with passive or active control solutions. READ MORE

5. 4. 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

6. 5. 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
