  1. 1. Spatial modelling of sustainable wind power development

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Martin Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : wind power; wind turbines; wind turbine siting; spatial modelling; sustainable development; GIS; multi-criteria analysis; AHP; FAHP; vindkraft; vindkraftverk; vindkraftslokalisering; spatiell modellering; hållbar utveckling; GIS; multikriterieanalys; AHP; FAHP;

    Abstract : Measures to mitigate climate change has never been a more pressing matter thanit is today and the global debate over energy security, environmental decline andlimited resources is heated, which motivates decision makers and leaders to searchfor alternative energy sources, renewable sources. The Swedish government has seta goal to make its entire domestic electricity production 100 % renewable and phaseout energy production based on fossil fuels entirely by year 2040, where wind powerwill contribute largely to that goal.

  3. 2. Ways to a further prevention of wind turbine noise disturbance : the extent to which the current sound assessment methods are satisfactory in noise estimation and possible improvements

    University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Mark Veenstra; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This text reviews the topic on how improved understanding and assessment of noise from wind turbines can and should mitigate noise disturbance for neighbouring inhabitants. Experienced noise disturbance can lead to all kinds of problems for inhabitants, but also for wind power development in general: public attitude can turn negative, there can be claims, law suits and a reluctance of local authorities to welcome further wind power development.

  4. 3. Wind Resource Data Analysis : The case of MYDERHU project site, Tigray regional state, Ethiopia

    University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologi

    Author : Oumer Yissa Dawde; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ethiopia is a developing country and its major primary energy consumption is largely covered by biomass and imported fossil fuels. Reliability of electricity supply varies widely across Ethiopia. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developing boundary conditions usingthe nesting technique on simple terrain : A study of wind and turbulence intensity proles sensitivity

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Raphael Desilets-Aube; [2011]
    Keywords : Lillgrund; turbulence intensity; WindSim; case study; actuator disc model; roughness length; boundary conditions;

    Abstract : As wind industry is developing steadily oshore, the wind turbine spacing remainsa key element for maximizing revenues and reducing loading from turbineswake interaction. In the case of relatively close to shore oshore wind farms, orlarge arrays onshore, the turbulence intensity coming from dierent sectors canhave an eect on wake growth and decay. READ MORE

  6. 5. Wind Climate Estimates - Validation of Modelled Wind Climate and Normal Year Correction

    University essay from Luft- och vattenlära

    Author : Martin Högström; [2007]
    Keywords : Modelled Wind Climate; MIUU-model; Normal Year Correction; Wind Energy;

    Abstract : Long time average wind conditions at potential wind turbine sites are of great importance when deciding if an investment will be economically safe. Wind climate estimates such as these are traditionally done with in situ measurements for a number of months. READ MORE
