1. 1. WEAR RESISTANT MULTI FUNCTIONAL POLYMER COATINGS

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

   Author : Pranay Kumar Parsi; [2023]
   Keywords : Polymer coatings; Materials; Tribology; Wear resistant; Ice adhesion; Freezing delay; Anti-icing de-icing;

   Abstract : This study aims to develop coatings which show wear resistant behaviour along with multiple functions such as improved ice adhesion, better freezing delay etc which help in improving the effectiveness of the wind turbine efficiency. The significance of anti-icing/de-icing solutions for wind turbines is emphasized since ice accretion can cause serious issues in generation of power and might lead to damage of blades. READ MORE

3. 2. Wind Turbine Installation Methods: Investigating Increasing Turbine Heights

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : William Anderson; [2023]
   Keywords : Installation; Construction; Large-scale; Turbine;

   Abstract : There is limited information available regarding the strategies surrounding the construction and logistical issues that will be faced in connection with the up-scaling of wind turbine technology. As wind turbines are manufactured at greater sizes, the industry will need to face these issues head-on to avoid many obstacles pertaining to transportation from the manufacturer to the project site, and the installation of massive turbine components at soaring heights.

4. 3. End-of-life wind blade recycling through thermal process

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskap

   Author : Kerstin Benz; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Turbine Blades; Recycling; Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic; Molten Salt Pyrolysis;

   Abstract : Renewable energy production with wind turbines has been rising in the last 30 years and it is a crucial technology, which is necessary for the energy transition. As sustainable as the energy production of wind turbines is, the waste management of the blade material is not. Most of the blades end up on a landfill or get incinerated. READ MORE

5. 4. 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.

6. 5. End of Life Wind Turbine Blade Recycling : Challenges From an Environmental, Economic and Practical Viewpoint

   University essay from

   Author : Daniel Hagfeldt; [2022]
   Keywords : Wind power; Wind turbine; Wind Turbine Blade; Recycling; Glass fibre; Carbon fibre; Centre-of-gravity method;

   Abstract : The goal of the European Union is to make strides towards a circular economy. This means recycling or re-using as much of the material in the economic system as possible. The wind industry faces a great challenge in the years to come as huge quantities of increasingly larger wind turbines reach the end of their service-life. READ MORE
