  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Structural temperatures of wind turbine blades under icing conditions

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Elise Brouillette; [2021]
    Keywords : Aerodynamics; Anti-icing Systems; Glass transition temperature; Heat transfer; Wind turbines;

    Abstract : As clean energy demand is on the rise and the wind energy sector in growth, locations with the highest wind potential are becoming of higher interest for wind farm projects, but they are located in colder regions. In cold climates, ice accumulation on wind turbine blades is a serious issue, both in terms of safety and performance. READ MORE

  4. 3. Vägsaltets påverkan på närliggande vegetation, mark samt närliggande slitlager

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Jakob Frängsmyr; Stina Nilsson; [2020]
    Keywords : vägsalt; struktur; halkbekämpning; jord; lignoser; påverkan;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta arbete är att göra en litteraturstudie och sammanställa fakta om hur vägsalt (NaCl, natriumklorid) påverkar vår stadsmiljö samt att få en överblick hur vegetation, slitlager och markytor i närheten av saltbehandlade vägar påverkas av den höga saltningsintensiteten. I arbetet ingår också en kartläggning av vilka andra alternativ och metoder till salt som provats för att eventuellt kunna vara likvärdiga eller bättre i sin funktion och inte vara lika skadliga som salt är för miljön.

  5. 4. Tuned sustainable anodic coatings for reduced ice adhesion

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Molekylär ytfysik och nanovetenskap

    Author : Thirza Poot; [2019]
    Keywords : aluminum alloys; tartaric-sulfuric acid anodizing; ice adhesion; silanization; hydrothermal sealing; contact angle; SEM; corrosion;

    Abstract : Aluminum alloys are widely used materials in the aircraft industry due to their high specific strength and durability. The natural corrosion resistance of aluminum can be improved through an electrochemical anodizing process. READ MORE

  6. 5. Detection and removal of wind turbine ice : Method review and a CFD simulation test

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem

    Author : Ismael Bravo Jimenez; [2018]
    Keywords : renewable energy; wind turbine; ice accretion; flow simulation; CFD; wind turbine performance; anti-icing methods; de-icing methods.;

    Abstract : Nowadays, the energy sector is facing a huge demand that needs to be covered. Wind energy is one of the most promising energy resources as it is free from pollution, clean and probably will arise as one of the main energy sources to prevent global warming from happening. Almost 10% of the global energy demand is coming from renewable resources. READ MORE
