  1. 16. Economic Feasibility of Wind Turbine's Anti-Icing Systems Development and application of a simple heuristic method and tool

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Klemm; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wind energy projects in cold climate areas are more and more favoured due to the presence of high wind potential and the availability of land in those areas. A serious problem, however, is the impact of icing on the wind turbine and on the energy production. READ MORE

  3. 17. Investigating Wind Data and Configuration of Wind Turbines for a Turning Floating Platform.

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Nurcan Sönmez; [2014]
    Keywords : Offshore Floating Turbine; Offshore Floating Structures; Jensen Wake Model;

    Abstract : Wake interactions on a floating platform for offshore wind energy applications were investigated.The study is performed in collaboration with Hexicon AB which has a patent family for innovative floating platforms, which are able to turn automatically. READ MORE

  4. 18. Condition Monitoring of Offshore Wind Turbines

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Roman Wisznia; [2013]
    Keywords : Wind power condition monitoring;

    Abstract : The growing interest around offshore wind power, providing at the same time better wind conditions and fewer visual or environmental impacts, has lead many energy suppliers to consider the installation of offshore wind farms. However, the marine environment makes the installation and maintenance of wind turbines much more complicated, raising the capital and operation costs to an undesirable level and preventing the fast progression of this technology worldwide.

  5. 19. Operational Validation of SIMLOX as a Simulation Tool for Wind Energy Operations and Maintenance (O&M)

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Jeff Johansson; [2013]
    Keywords : Wind Turbines; WTG; wind farm; wind energy; wind turbine; simulation; O M; operational validation; vindkraft; vindturbin; vindturbiner;

    Abstract : This thesis validates SIMLOX as a simulation tool for wind energy operation and maintenance (O&M). SIMLOX have been used for modeling O&M in other sectors since 2002 but have recently begun to be used for simulating wind energy. READ MORE

  6. 20. Reliable Centered Maintenance (RCM) Reliable and Risk Centered Maintenance (RRCM) in Offshore Wind Farms (Case Study- Sweden)

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Maryam Kharaji Manouchehrabadi; [2011]
    Keywords : Offshore wind farm maintenance; Preventive maintenance; Reliable centered maintenance RCM ; Reliable and Risk Centered Maintenance RRCM ;

    Abstract : Wind power, as a source of renewable energy, is growing very fast. Especially so, is consideration given to offshore wind farms where expansion is due in part to limited social and visual impact, reduced noise effect of turbines, and at the same time higher production of offshore wind turbines.
