1. 1. Offshore Wind Farms in Norway : A Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis for Optimal Site Location

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Adam Törnqvist; Vincent Edberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Offshore wind power; Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis; Renewable energy; Suit-ability map; Geographical Information System; Havsbaserad vindkraft; Spatial multikriterieanalys; Förnybar energi; Lämp-lighetskarta; Geografiskt informationssystem;

   Abstract : Recognizing the imperative transition towards renewable energy sources to combat climate change, this study explores the outlooks for offshore wind power in Norway, a country endowed with extensive coastlines and favourable wind conditions. The thesis sets out to support decision-making processes by synthesizing contemporary research and applying context-specific insights to the southern half of the Norwegian economic zone (NEZ) into a comprehensive Spatial-Multi-criteria Analysis (SMCA).

3. 2. Vindkraftens påverkan på smålom

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Author : Joel Hallingfors; Marcus Åsberg Genctürk; [2023]
   Keywords : smålom; vindkraftsetablering; skyddszon; buffertzoner; QGIS; habitatpåverkan;

   Abstract : Vindkraftsetableringar i Sverige ökar och har ökat kraftigt de senaste åren. Etableringen leder till att olika intressen krockar med varandra och hänsyn måste tas till drabbade arter som exempelvis smålom (Gavia stellata). READ MORE

4. 3. Improvement of Wind Power Forecasting and Prediction of Production Losses Caused by Ice Formation on Wind Turbine Blades : - A Machine Learning Approach

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Emelie Sjökvist; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In the ongoing climate crisis, transitioning to renewable energy sources is essential to manage the increasing energy demand. One such renewable energy source is the weather-dependent energy source, wind power. Many wind farms are located in Cold Climate (CC) regions, known for their vast potential for wind power production. READ MORE

5. 4. WIND POWER MANAGEMENT:RISK ANALYSIS FOR WIND POWER PROJECTS IN NORTH SWEDISH WHITE-TAILED SEA EAGLE HABITATS

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Björn Larsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Carrying capacity; density-dependent effect; displacement effect; land use;

   Abstract : By investigating the scope of future wind turbine projects in north Swedish coastal regions and Lapland inland, identification of especially sensitive areas and the effect of wind farm location for the white- tailed sea eagles (WSE) Haliaeetus albicilla at these sites were evaluated. Since the 1980s the WSE the population growth has been stable and intensified in the last two decades, the upgoing trend is evident especially at coastal areas of the Bothnian Sea and Lapland inland, these regions are also considered suitable for wind farm projects.

6. 5. Levelised cost of green hydrogen produced at onshore wind farm sites : A case study comparing local production in Sweden and importing from Chile

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Torun Moberg; [2022]
   Keywords : hydrogen; wind power; energy storage; ammonia; hydrogen carrier; electrolyzer; LCOH;

   Abstract : Hydrogen can be produced via water electrolysis, a process powered by electricity, and is often called green hydrogen if the electricity source is renewable. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the levelised cost of hydrogen, LCOH, from two hypothetical scenarios of green hydrogen production at onshore wind farm sites. READ MORE
