  1. 6. End-Of-Life Wind Turbines in the EU : An Estimation of the NdFeB-Magnets and Containing Rare Earth Elements in the Anthropogenic Stock of Germany and Denmark

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lisa Welzel; [2019]
    Keywords : rare earth elements; neodymium; dysprosium; wind turbines; permanent magnets; recycling; recovery; closing the loop; urban mining; sustainability; sällsynta jordartsmetaller; neodymium; dysprosium; vindturbiner; permanenta magneter; återvinning; cirkulärt system; hållbarhet;

    Abstract : Securing rare earth elements (REE) for a stable supply require sustainable management strategies in Europe due to a missing local primary production and a dependence on China as the main producer of REE. These elements, like neodymium (Nd) and dysprosium (Dy), are contained in permanent magnets (PM) (mostly NdFeB-magnets) in wind turbines. READ MORE

  3. 7. Optimal configuration for a bio-solar-wind polygeneration system in Klintehamn

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

    Author : Caroline Algarp; Astrid Svanfeldt; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project concentrates on the energy flows of Klintehamn and examines if it is possible for Klintehamn to be self-sufficient in the future. To reach this goal, the energy flows in Klintehamn must be analyzed. Subsequently, a new improved energy flow has been designed, where other renewable energy sources are included. READ MORE

  4. 8. Social acceptance of the Vesterhav Syd Wind Power Project : quantitative and qualitative content analysis of social acceptance towards a wind power project in the Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality at the west coast of Jutland, Denmark

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Daniel Valentini; [2018]
    Keywords : Social Acceptance; Nearshore Wind Power; Vesterhav Syd; Mixed Methods; Quantitative Content Analysis; Qualitative Content Analysis;

    Abstract : Essential for the effectiveness of green technology projects is the acceptance of these projects by local actors, from the planning phase to the implementation. It is especially important to understand those people who oppose the idea of having wind turbines in their “backyard” since local resistance can hamper or even prevent the installation of wind power projects.

  5. 9. Wind Unwind

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Maëlle Ducreux; [2017]
    Keywords : wind; microclimate; design; energy; waterfront; turbines; sustainable; Arts and Architecture;

    Abstract : Wind turbines are most commonly located in remote areas to harness strong and constant winds, however, with the current growing rate of urbanisation, producing clean energy within the city closer to consumers is becoming crucial. Research has shown that the urban morphology has a strong capacity to influence air flow and ‘street canyons’ have the potential to channel the wind towards turbines in the urban scale. READ MORE
