4. 8. Facilitating locations of green energy on land. What can make it successful? - A case study of the Energy Park Veddum Kær

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

   Author : Karl Felix Flyvbjerg Poulsen; [2023]
   Keywords : green energy transformation; Wind turbines; solar panels; case study; path-dependance; successful location; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : This paper investigates what can promote green energy projects on land which consist of solar and wind power. The research is done with an economic geographic framework of path-development. A paradigmatic case study is conducted with scientific semi-structured interviews and short “pop-up interviews” which validated the in-depth interviews. READ MORE

5. 9. Dynamic simulation and 3D visualization of a floating tilted counter-rotating vertical axis offshore wind turbine

   University essay from

   Author : Lovisa Jonsson; Alexander Hedene; Klara Österling; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind turbine; Offshore; VAWT; CRVT; Simulation; Visualization; MATLAB; Dynamics;

   Abstract : The growing global demand for clean energy is critical, and wind power plays a crucial role in addressing this need. The increasing demand is driving advancements in the field of offshore wind power and one promising innovation is the counter-rotating vertical axis turbines (CRVT), specifically designed for floating wind power installations.

6. 10. Modeling of the trajectory of ice thrown from a wind turbine

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

   Author : Elena Rocchi; [2023]
   Keywords : Ice thrown - Ice fall - RANS - LES - CFD - simulations - ballistic model; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues.
