1. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : 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

2. Structural temperatures of wind turbine blades under icing conditions
University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk AkustikAbstract : 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. Detection and removal of wind turbine ice : Method review and a CFD simulation test
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/EnergisystemAbstract : 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
