  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. Propulsion modelling of a generic submarine propeller

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gustav Boman; [2023]
    Keywords : OpenFOAM; CFD; actuator line model; rotor disk; actuator disk; INSEAN E1619; propeller;

    Abstract : Self propulsion modelling is important in order to accurately simulate ships and submarinesusing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). However, fully resolved simulations of hull andpropeller geometries are computationally heavy and time consuming. As such there is a greatinterest in lower order CFD models of propellers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor

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

    Author : Mariana Pires Gonçalves Toco Dias; [2023]
    Keywords : Compressor; rotor; blisk; aeroelasticity; aerodynamic damping; CFD; transient; forced response;

    Abstract : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. READ MORE

  5. 4. CFD validation of a new gas turbinestage design with experimental data

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

    Author : Claudia Florentina Balan; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Gas turbines are present in two energy-intensive sectors: aviation and energy production. Improving the efficiency of gas turbines has a huge impact on the reduction of CO2 in the atmosphere, therefore many research groups are studying innovative strategies to improve the performance of these turbines.

  6. 5. Survey of Sweden’s installed wind turbine capacity and the country’s ability to handle future turbine decommissioning waste material

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Thanatorn Surawatsatien; [2022]
    Keywords : decommissioning; end-of-life wind turbine; blade material; decommissioned material;

    Abstract : The global market for wind energy is expanding rapidly, and in the last decade, Sweden has constructed thousands of wind turbines. The high installation pace suggests that a similarly rapid decommissioning rate is to be anticipated in the near future, notwithstanding the small number of turbines that have been retired thus far.
