  1. 1. Analysis to reduce ice-related production losses for wind turbines

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Jhason Paran De La Cruz; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind power; cold climate; wind turbine icing; ice losses; ice protection systems; blade heating; de-icing; analytical dashboard; data visualization.; Vindkraft; kalla klimat; nedisning av vindkraftverk; isförluster; isskyddssystem; uppvärmning av blad; avisning; analysverktyg; datavisualisering.;

    Abstract : In the rapidly growing wind energy market, regions with cold climates are currently in the spotlight owing to their abundance of wind resources. However, the operation of wind turbines in cold climate conditions is challenged by serious icing problems. READ MORE

  3. 2. A study of the effects of winterclimate and atmospheric icing onhigh-speed passenger trains

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistik

    Author : Markus Granlöf; [2020]
    Keywords : Survival analysis; continuous Markov model; cumulative delay; highspeed train; weather; atmospheric icing;

    Abstract : Harsh winter climate causes various problems for both the public andprivate sector in Sweden, especially in the northern part and the railway industryis no exception. This master thesis project covers an investigation of the eects ofthe winter climate and a phenomena called atmospheric icing on the performance ofthe train in a region called the Botnia-Atlantica region.

  4. 3. Maglev deployment in winter climate

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Axel Thorstrand; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As of year 2020, maglev train systems are not in service in areas with harsh winter climate. Compared to conventional railway, the technology is relatively new and untested in conditions of low temperatures, icing and snow. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.

  6. 5. Experimental investigation of a de-icing system for wind turbine blades based on infrared radiation

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Sofia Sollén; Jennifer Pettersson; [2019]
    Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Cold climate; Ice and snow; De-icing; De-icing system; Infrared radiation; Infrared heater.;

    Abstract : Wind power is one of the fastest growing production methods of electric energy. The expansion of wind power in Sweden are focused to northern counties. There are advantages as good wind conditions and large unexploited areas to build wind farms in the north, but there are also problems caused by the long winters. READ MORE
