  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. Determining and analysing production losses due to ice on wind turbines using SCADA data

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

    Author : Oscar Felding; [2021]
    Keywords : Wind turbines; ice accretion; ice losses; SCADA; cold climate; Vindturbin; ispåbyggnad; isförluster; SCADA-data; kallt klimat;

    Abstract : 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. 3. An analysis of the discrepancy in availability and production at a wind farm in Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Edward Sadler; [2017]
    Keywords : wind; wind turbine;

    Abstract : Eolus recently developed, sold and now manage a wind farm consisting of four 2 MW wind turbines located in the northern half of Sweden. Soon after commissioning it was noticed that they were underperforming in terms of production and availability. It was suspected that one turbine was underperforming relative to the manufacturers’ power curve. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wind Turbine Production losses in Cold Climate : case study of ten wind farms in Sweden

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Jon Malmsten; [2011]
    Keywords : Icing of wind turbines; production losses; cold climate; reanalysis data; Vindkraft;

    Abstract : As wind power expands rapidly worldwide, it is becoming more common to build wind farms in alpine locations where the wind resources often are good and conflicting interests are few. This is evident in Sweden where a substantial portion of the large wind parks planned are to be built in cold climate locations. READ MORE

  6. 5. The performance of an iced aircraft wing

    University essay from Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Daniel Andersson; [2011]
    Keywords : Airfoil; ice layer; in-flight icing; wind tunnel; rapid prototyping; lift force;

    Abstract : The goal of this thesis work has been to develop and manufacture an ice layer which was to be mounted on the tip of a scaled down wing model. The iced wing should be tested in a wind tunnel and aerodynamic comparisons should be made to the same wing without ice.The development of the ice was carried out as a modified product development process.
