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

3. Determining and analysing production losses due to ice on wind turbines using SCADA data
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Wind turbines are becoming a more common sight and a more important part in the power grid. The benefits are mainly that wind energy is a renewable energy source and a single wind turbine can produce enough electricity to cover several households’ annual electricity need and not producing carbon dioxide as a rest product.

4. Defining, analyzing and determining power losses - due to icing on wind turbine blades
University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikAbstract : The wind power industry is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy industries in the world. Since more energy can be extracted from wind when the density is higher, a lot of the investments made in the wind power industry are made in cold climates. But with cold climates come harsh weather conditions such as icing. READ MORE
