  1. 6. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF TRUSS CONSTRUCTION FOR WIND TURBINE BLADES

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik

    Author : Björn Weddig; [2016]
    Keywords : Wind turbine blade; FRP; Truss system; Instability; Buckling; Non-Linear; Eigenvalue problem; Frequency response analysis; Transient dynamic response; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The usage of wind turbines during the latest years has grown substantially and are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, as many countries are trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. In order to increase the effect of the wind turbines the length of the blades has been increased, which has also led to an increase of the cross-section dimensions. READ MORE

  3. 7. Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : A Mechanical Design Project and a Feasibility Study for Microgrids in Tanzania

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Erik Imamura; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Detta arbete behandlar vindkraft med vertikal axel, att användas utanför ordinarie elnät, främst i byar och småföretag på landsbygden i utvecklingsländer. Två fristående projekt ingår. Det första handlar om konstruktion, med målet att utveckla ett koncept för att hålla kraftverkets vingar. READ MORE

  5. 9. Heliostat Design

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : Nils Björkman; [2014]
    Keywords : Solar Power; Heliostat; Thermal solar power; Solar Power Tower; Central Receiver System; Solenergi; Heliostat; Termisk solenergi; Solar Power Tower; Tornsolkraftverk;

    Abstract : A heliostat is a motorized mirror used in a Solar Power Tower plant. The technology has been around since the 1970’s, and involves hundreds or thousands of heliostats reflecting the sun’s rays to the top of a high tower, where the incident solar energy is converted to heat energy, which in turn is used to drive steam turbines and produce electricity.
