    Author : Pegah Atarian; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in northeast Africa with a predominantly rural population dependent on rainfed agriculture and traditional biomass. The Ethiopian economy is growing fast and as it continues to grow, so does the demand for water, food, and energy. READ MORE

  3. 2. THE WIND OF CHANGE – SENSITIVITY OF THREE PARAMETERS ON WIND POWER ENERGY CALCULATIONS USING WINDPRO SOFTWARE

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nina Skuja; [2023]
    Keywords : Error; Sensitivity; WindPRO; Wind Power; Wind Speed; Roughness; Power Curve; Energy Production; Wind Resource Assessment;

    Abstract : Many parameters used for Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) have uncertainty and variability, yet are input into the process as single values. The extent of the uncertainty or variance may not be known, and may or may not be significant enough to affect output. READ MORE

  4. 3. INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY AND THE POLICIES FOR WIND POWER REPOWERING IN SWEDISH MUNICIPALITIES

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Samuel Roško; [2023]
    Keywords : wind power; full repowering; onshore wind; economic feasibility; financial viability; WindPro; municipal policy; comprehensive plans; Swedish municipalities; case studies; AEP; noise; shadow;

    Abstract : Transitioning to a low-carbon energy system includes deploying renewables such as wind power, which has been installed in Sweden since the 1980s. After a 20 to 25-year lifetime, a wind turbine´s end-of-life options come into play, therefore many of the turbines deployed in Sweden prior to 2011 will reach this mark by 2035. READ MORE

  5. 4. Wake velocity deficit calculation and wind turbine separation in the forested area using RANS
