  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. 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

  4. 3. Airspeed estimation of aircraft using two different models and nonlinear observers

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Fordonssystem

    Author : Alexander Roser; Anton Thunberg; [2023]
    Keywords : sensor fusion; flight mechanics; Kalman filter; extended Kalman filter; unscented Kalman filter; pitot tube; airspeed estimation; simulation;

    Abstract : When operating an aircraft, inaccurate measurements can have devastating consequences. For example, when measuring airspeed using a pitot tube, icing effects and other faults can result in erroneous measurements. READ MORE

  5. 4. Forecast-based AI Decisions for Winter Road Maintenance

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Johan Alfredéen; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In countries with freezing temperatures, proper road maintenance is an important intervention to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities and improves road passability. While de-icing using road salt can be an effective intervention, it may also lead to harmful side effects such as damage to vehicles, groundwater contamination and plant stress. READ MORE

  6. 5. Optimization of Grid Connection Capacity for Onshore Wind Farms

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Patrik Wall; [2022]
    Keywords : icing; optimization; grid capacity; full-performance; power curve; Monte Carlo; Markov chain;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates if the profitability of a wind farm can be increased by reducing itscontracted grid capacity. Two years of SCADA data is cleaned from non- and partialperformance which is used to estimate a wake reduced annual power time series. READ MORE
