  1. 1. Impact of offtake mechanisms on wind turbine selection and design in North and Central Europe

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Gesa Reiter; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind energy; offtake mechanisms; wind turbine configuration and design; rated power; capacity factor; Renewable Energy Sources Act; EEG; PPA; merchant; profitability; NPV; IRR; Vindkraft; upphandlingsmekanismer; vindturbiners konfiguration och utformning; nominell effekt; kapacitetsfaktor; lagen om förnybara energikällor; EEG; energiköpsavtal; handelsprissättning; lönsamhet; NPV; IRR;

    Abstract : Wind power has become a major supplier of electricity in the European market in the last years. In 2020, 13% of electricity generated on the European continent was wind energy (onshore and offshore) and these shares are projected to increase in the next years due to reasons such as climate change and the energy security aspect.

  3. 2. Two-dimensional Study of Blade Profiles for a Savonius Wind Turbine

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Elektricitetslära

    Author : Johanna Sundberg; Martina Lundberg; Julia Solhed; Aikaterini Manousidou; [2020]
    Keywords : Savonius rotor; vertical axis wind turbines; Ansys Fluent; k-omega SST; overlap ratio; blade arc angle;

    Abstract : A Savonius wind turbine is a self-starting vertical axis rotor. It can be designed to be compact in size and also produces less noise which makes it suitable to integrate into urban spaces such as rooftops and sign-poles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Proposed Design and Feasibility Study of a Hybrid-Electric Propulsion System for a Ten Passenger Aircraft

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Fredrik Ollas; Gestur Ernir Viðarsson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study aims to propose a hybridized version of a propulsion system for a 10-passenger aircraft and compare it to a conventional (reference) aircraft which uses a fossil fuelled turbofan for propulsion. The hybridized powertrain includes a fossil fuelled gas turbine, which is only used for producing electricity, coupled in a series configuration with a battery storage, that provide power to two electrically ducted fans.
