  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Analysis to reduce ice-related production losses for wind turbines

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

    Author : Jhason Paran De La Cruz; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind power; cold climate; wind turbine icing; ice losses; ice protection systems; blade heating; de-icing; analytical dashboard; data visualization.; Vindkraft; kalla klimat; nedisning av vindkraftverk; isförluster; isskyddssystem; uppvärmning av blad; avisning; analysverktyg; datavisualisering.;

    Abstract : In the rapidly growing wind energy market, regions with cold climates are currently in the spotlight owing to their abundance of wind resources. However, the operation of wind turbines in cold climate conditions is challenged by serious icing problems. READ MORE

  4. 3. Forecast-based AI Decisions for Winter Road Maintenance

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Johan Alfredéen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In countries with freezing temperatures, proper road maintenance is an important intervention to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities and improves road passability. While de-icing using road salt can be an effective intervention, it may also lead to harmful side effects such as damage to vehicles, groundwater contamination and plant stress. READ MORE

  5. 4. Road De-icing under a Rolling Horizon

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Petr Binko; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Road de-icing is part of the winter road maintenance sector, an area of interest to the Uppsala-based company BM System. In order to solve the road de-icing problem, BM System developed an optimisation engine which makes use of a local-search algorithm. READ MORE

  6. 5. Treatment of dissolved metals in highway runoff water : Pilot-scale trial with four reactive filter media and sand filter

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Serena Bianchi; [2021]
    Keywords : stormwater treatment; metal removal; adsorption; reactive filter media; sand filtration; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; de-icing salt; pressure drop; filter clogging; rening av dagvatten; avl ̈agsnande av metaller; adsorption; reaktiva filterme- dier; sandfiltrering; Petrit-T; Polonite; D-Rainclean; Filtralite-P; avisningssalt; tryckfall; filterstoppning;

    Abstract : The increasing highway traffic is leading to higher and higher levels of pollutants in the stormwater, such as suspended solids, metals, oils, nutrients and PAH. This runoff water causes the degradation of water bodies quality, leading to increased interest in the treatment of highway runoff for the removal of contaminants. READ MORE
