  1. 1. EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF USING OLD WIND FARMS AREAS TO LIMIT THE ELECTRICAL GENERATION DEFICIT IN SE4 SWEDEN - A REPOWERING INVESTIGATION

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Mohamad Mubarak Drgham; [2023]
    Keywords : Swedish bidding zones; SE4; Electrical Generation Deficit; Wind Energy; Solar Energy; Storage System; Repowering; Wind Farms.;

    Abstract : In the southern part of Sweden, specifically in price zone SE4, there is an increasing cost of electricity and a contemporary supply deficit. This research aims to elaborate on the deficit in electrical generation to consumption in SE4. The found values indicate a 42% unmet demand, equaling 5.152 TWh annually. READ MORE

  3. 2. INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY AND THE POLICIES FOR WIND POWER REPOWERING IN SWEDISH MUNICIPALITIES

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Samuel Roško; [2023]
    Keywords : wind power; full repowering; onshore wind; economic feasibility; financial viability; WindPro; municipal policy; comprehensive plans; Swedish municipalities; case studies; AEP; noise; shadow;

    Abstract : Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system includes deploying renewables such as wind power, which has been installed in Sweden since the 1980s. After a 20 to 25-year lifetime, a wind turbine´s end-of-life options come into play, therefore many of the turbines deployed in Sweden prior to 2011 will reach this mark by 2035. READ MORE

  4. 3. ONSHORE WIND FARM REPOWERING ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS AND COST ASSESSMENT

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper
