1. 1. The Impact of Global Warming on Wind Power Potential in the Greater Horn of Africa

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Bromwel Apondi; [2023-08-17]
   Keywords : Near-surface wind speed; the Greater Horn of Africa; ERA5; Wind power density; CORDEX-Africa;

   Abstract : The wind speed variability and wind power potential in the Greater Horn of Africa is analyzed in this study to fill a knowledge gap regarding if wind power can be used more as a source of energy for the region. This is investigated based on reanalysis data from ERA5, observed wind speeds, CORDEX-Africa regional climate models (RCMs) for future projections and a literature review. READ MORE

3. 2. ASSESSMENT OF WIND POWER PROJECTS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF A METHODOLOGY FOR EARLY-STAGE EVALUATION

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Ilya Ibraheem; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Power; Wind power project management; MCDM; AHP;

   Abstract : There is limited land accessible for the construction of wind farms due to the obstacles posed by geographical constraints, popular opposition, wildlife conservation, and power system integration. These variables make the planning of wind power projects a complex procedure requiring the consideration of numerous criteria and limits. READ MORE

4. 3. Wet Spinning of Cellulose-Lignin Precursor for Carbon Fibers : Effect of Coagulation Bath Composition & Spin Finish

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

   Author : Julia Sundmark; [2023]
   Keywords : Carbon fiber; Cold alkali; Cold NaOH; lignin; cellulose; wet spinning; Kolfiber; kallalkali; lignin; cellulosa; våtspinning;

   Abstract : Carbon fibers (CF) are a material with a composition of over 90% carbon, which has high mechanical properties and low density. This unique combination of properties makes it requirable in applications such as vehicles, aerospace, wind power, and space industries. Commercially made CF are made using the fossil raw material polyacrylonitrile (PAN). 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. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint

   University essay from

   Author : Daniel Hagfeldt; [2022]
   Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Wind Turbine Blade; Recycling; Glass fibre; Carbon fibre; Centre-of-gravity method;

   Abstract : The goal of the European Union is to make strides towards a circular economy. This means recycling or re-using as much of the material in the economic system as possible. The wind industry faces a great challenge in the years to come as huge quantities of increasingly larger wind turbines reach the end of their service-life. READ MORE
