  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. 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. 3. 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

  5. 4. A Comparison of Wind Power Production with Three Different De- and Anti-Icing Systems

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Sandra Kolar; [2015]
    Keywords : wind turbine; de-icing; anti-icing; ice; losses; vindkraftverk; avisning; is; förluster;

    Abstract : This thesis is done within the master program in energy systems engineering at Uppsala University and in cooperation with OX2. The aim was to compare the operation and performance of three different de- and anti-icing systems for wind turbines during the winter 2014/2015. READ MORE

  6. 5. Economic Feasibility of Wind Turbine's Anti-Icing Systems Development and application of a simple heuristic method and tool

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Klemm; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wind energy projects in cold climate areas are more and more favoured due to the presence of high wind potential and the availability of land in those areas. A serious problem, however, is the impact of icing on the wind turbine and on the energy production. READ MORE
