3. 2. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
   Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : 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.

   Abstract : 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

5. 4. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

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

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

6. 5. Wind Turbine Installation Methods: Investigating Increasing Turbine Heights

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : William Anderson; [2023]
   Keywords : Installation; Construction; Large-scale; Turbine;

   Abstract : There is limited information available regarding the strategies surrounding the construction and logistical issues that will be faced in connection with the up-scaling of wind turbine technology. As wind turbines are manufactured at greater sizes, the industry will need to face these issues head-on to avoid many obstacles pertaining to transportation from the manufacturer to the project site, and the installation of massive turbine components at soaring heights.
