  1. 1. Analysis to reduce ice-related production losses for wind turbines

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

    Author : Jhason Paran De La Cruz; [2023]
    Keywords : Wind power; cold climate; wind turbine icing; ice losses; ice protection systems; blade heating; de-icing; analytical dashboard; data visualization.; Vindkraft; kalla klimat; nedisning av vindkraftverk; isförluster; isskyddssystem; uppvärmning av blad; avisning; analysverktyg; datavisualisering.;

    Abstract : In the rapidly growing wind energy market, regions with cold climates are currently in the spotlight owing to their abundance of wind resources. However, the operation of wind turbines in cold climate conditions is challenged by serious icing problems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Major Component Replacement on Floating Wind Turbines

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

    Author : Kilian Galle; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Among the challenges that floating offshore wind (FOW) energy faces today, operation and maintenanc ecosts, and especially major component replacements (MCR), are an important cost reduction lever. MCRs are defined as any failure on a wind turbine requiring the change of an entire main component of the turbine, such as a gearbox, generator, blade, nacelle, etc. READ MORE

  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. Relay settings for frequency derivative protection against islanding : Optimizing RoCoF-Hysteresis and Delay for the Swedish power grid: An investigation of relevant values

    University essay from KTH/Hälsoinformatik och logistik

    Author : Ahmad Safari; [2023]
    Keywords : Islanding; unintentional islanding; distributed energy resources; main grid; RoCoF; hysteresis; delay; Ödrift; oavsiktlig ödrift; distribuerade energiresurser; stamnät; RoCoF; hysteres; fördröjning;

    Abstract : This report addresses the parameter settings for a protective relay designed to safeguard a 15 kW wind turbine located in Rimbo, Norrtälje municipality, against unintentional islanding. This type of situation arises when distributed energy resources continue to supply local loads, even if the main grid has been unintentionally disconnected. READ MORE

  6. 5. Wind energy and environmental impacts of wind turbine projects

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Chadi Kattach; [2023]
    Keywords : wind; wind turbine; landscape;

    Abstract : My goal in writing this paper was to become more familiar with with wind farm planning and its relationship to the landscape, as a strong and bold intervention in the existing landscape. I examined some of the side effects of onshore wind farms in general, By studying different research on the effects of wind turbines on the surrounding key species such as humans, terrestrial mammals, bats and birds.
