1. 11. Optimization of loads and power production for wind turbines in Swedish conditions

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Manikanta Viswanadha Prabhu Kankatala; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The project aims at quantifying differences in power production and fatigue loads for wind turbines placed in the Baltic sea and in forested, topographically-complex areas compared to turbines placed offshore and in flat terrain. Based on these results, suggestions will be provided on how to optimally site and operate turbines in these conditions. READ MORE

3. 12. ASSESSMENT OF WIND POWER PROJECTS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR EARLY-STAGE EVALUATION

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Ilya Ibraheem; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Power; Wind power project management; MCDM; AHP;

   Abstract : There is limited land accessible for the construction of wind farms due to the obstacles posed by geographical constraints, popular opposition, wildlife conservation, and power system integration. These variables make the planning of wind power projects a complex procedure requiring the consideration of numerous criteria and limits. READ MORE

4. 13. 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

5. 14. Win-Wind situation? The Local Labor Market and Wind Power Investments in Sweden

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Alfred Arnborg; [2023]
   Keywords : Renewable energy; Labor market; Difference-in-differences; Local projections;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the local economic impacts of wind power deployment in Sweden, focusing on the net labor market effects. Using a difference-in-differences model and a local projections model, the study quantifies the impact of wind power investments on unemployment at the municipal level. READ MORE

6. 15. Wind Turbine Installation Methods: Investigating Increasing Turbine Heights

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : William Anderson; [2023]
   Keywords : Installation; Construction; Large-scale; Turbine;

   Abstract : There is limited information available regarding the strategies surrounding the construction and logistical issues that will be faced in connection with the up-scaling of wind turbine technology. As wind turbines are manufactured at greater sizes, the industry will need to face these issues head-on to avoid many obstacles pertaining to transportation from the manufacturer to the project site, and the installation of massive turbine components at soaring heights.
