1. 6. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

   Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
   Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

   Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

3. 7. End-of-life wind blade recycling through thermal process

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Kerstin Benz; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Turbine Blades; Recycling; Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic; Molten Salt Pyrolysis;

   Abstract : Renewable energy production with wind turbines has been rising in the last 30 years and it is a crucial technology, which is necessary for the energy transition. As sustainable as the energy production of wind turbines is, the waste management of the blade material is not. Most of the blades end up on a landfill or get incinerated. READ MORE

4. 8. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint

   University essay from

   Author : Daniel Hagfeldt; [2022]
   Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Wind Turbine Blade; Recycling; Glass fibre; Carbon fibre; Centre-of-gravity method;

   Abstract : The goal of the European Union is to make strides towards a circular economy. This means recycling or re-using as much of the material in the economic system as possible. The wind industry faces a great challenge in the years to come as huge quantities of increasingly larger wind turbines reach the end of their service-life. READ MORE

5. 9. Survey of Sweden’s installed wind turbine capacity and the country’s ability to handle future turbine decommissioning waste material

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Thanatorn Surawatsatien; [2022]
   Keywords : decommissioning; end-of-life wind turbine; blade material; decommissioned material;

   Abstract : The global market for wind energy is expanding rapidly, and in the last decade, Sweden has constructed thousands of wind turbines. The high installation pace suggests that a similarly rapid decommissioning rate is to be anticipated in the near future, notwithstanding the small number of turbines that have been retired thus far.

6. 10. Feasibility Study of Wind Turbine Blades Constructed in 1300 MPa Fossil-Free Steel : Finite Element weight optimization with respect to structural integrity by Abaqus and Tosca Structure

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

   Author : Peter van der Brug; Sina Urban; [2022]
   Keywords : Abaqus; Tosca Structure; Wind Turbine Blade; Weight Optimization; High-Strength Steel; Fossil-Free; SSAB; Strenx 1300; DTU 10MW-RWT;

   Abstract : This study aims to perform a feasibility study on the DTU 10MW-RWT wind turbine blades constructed in the fossil-free high-strength steel 1300 MPa from SSAB. The acceptance criteria, on which the study is based, are taken from the DTU composite wind turbine model. A maximum weight of 41 000kg and a maximum tip displacement of 12.5 m are chosen. READ MORE
