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. Weight Optimization of Vertical-Axis Wind Turbine Blades constructed in Swedish Fossil Free Steel : With respect to fatigue life time

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för maskinteknik (MT)

   Author : Johannes Hall; Albin Larsson; [2023]
   Keywords : VAWT; Wind Turbine Blade; SSAB; Fossil-Free; Weight Optimization; Topology Optimization; Sizing Optimization; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure; VAWT; Vindturbinblad; SSAB; Fossilfritt; Viktoptimering; Topologioptimering; Size-Optimering; NACA 0018; STRENX 1300; Abaqus; Tosca Structure;

   Abstract : Wind turbines have been utilized for centuries to harness energy from the wind. Commercial wind turbine blades are typically made from composite materials, which are difficult to recycle, leading to blades ending up in landfills at the end of their lifecycle. Additionally, these materials contribute to microplastic pollution. READ MORE

5. 4. Techno-economic analysis of innovative storage power plants utilizing existing CCGT systems : An Austrian case study

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

   Author : Niklas Pöcklhofer; Philipp Sares; [2023]
   Keywords : Innovative storage power plants; sector coupling; existing infrastructure; CCGT; hydrogen-fired gas turbine; hydrogen; hybridized energy system; techno-economic analysis; sustainability; Innovativa lagringskraftverk; sektorkoppling; befintlig infrastruktur; CCGT; vätgaseldad gasturbin; vätgas; hybridiserat energisystem; teknisk-ekonomisk analys; hållbarhet;

   Abstract : Efforts to mitigate climate change and current geopolitical disruptions have revealed that changes to the existing energy system are urgently required to offer sustainable and secure energy for Europe. Hence, the role of conventional thermal power plants is being challenged and new technologies providing additional functionality for the power grid are pushing into the market. READ MORE

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.
