1. 1. Analysis of Microgrid Electrification on Phaluai Island : A Minor Field Study in Thailand

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

   Author : Leontina Walldén; Caroline Wahlberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Microgrid; Rural electrification; Rural islands; Thailand; Renewable energy; Microgrid; Elektrifiering av landsbygd; Isolerade öar; Thailand; Förnybar energi;

   Abstract : Similar to numerous other nations, Thailand aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and increasing the amount of renewable energy sources in electricity generation. The objective of the Thai Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) is to ensure electricity access for all Thai households and villages. READ MORE

3. 2. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknik

   Author : Vatsalkumar Manavar; [2023]
   Keywords : Savonius wind turbine; Computational fluid dynamics; Vertical axis wind turbine; Overlap ratio; Distance between blades; Power coefficient;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

4. 3. An assessment of circular economy measures in the construction value chain for offshore wind turbines

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggproduktion

   Author : Therése Svensson; [2023]
   Keywords : Circular economy; Construction value chain; Wind energy; Offshore wind turbine; Offshore wind farm; Design; Manufacturing; Construction; Operation and maintenance; End of life; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The construction sector is responsible for high energy consumption and large emissions of carbon dioxide, which is strongly linked to building materials. Within the European Union, the construction sector generates more than a third of all waste and circular economy is considered as a suitable approach to tackle these challenges. READ MORE

5. 4. 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.

6. 5. Uncertainty quantification for offshore wind turbines

   University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

   Author : Ziming Wang; [2022]
   Keywords : wind energy; uncertainty propagation; polynomial chaos; Rosenblatt transformation; quadrature; regression; vindenergi; osäkerhetsutbredning; polynomkaos; Rosenblatt transformation; kvadratur; regression;

   Abstract : Wind energy is a field with a large number of uncertainties. The random nature of the weather conditions, including wind speed, wind direction, and turbulence intensity, influences the energy output and the structural safety of a wind farm, making its performance fluctuate and difficult to predict.
