1. 16. 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

3. 17. Climate Impact of Wind Turbine Production : Emissions from Material and Energy Usage for Onshore and Offshore Wind Turbines

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

   Author : Joel Arnelo; Maria Kolte; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind turbine production; Wind turbine components; Onshore and Offshore wind power; Wind power climate impact; Produktion av vindkraftverk; Vindkraftverk komponenter; Landbaserad och havsbaserad vindkraft; Klimatpåverkan vindkraft;

   Abstract : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is making great strides in the global energy sector. While wind power is a renewable energy source, it is not entirely free from carbon emissions. This is because the production of wind turbines is dependent on the use of energy, and as a result can emit large amounts of carbon dioxide. READ MORE

4. 18. 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. 19. 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. 20. Prospects for Wind Energy Development in Consideration of a Cumulative Appraisal of Botanical, Faunal, Societal, and Cultural Values in Swedish Boreal Forests

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Robin Alexander Gallus; [2023]
   Keywords : Wind Energy; Boreal; Forest; Sweden; Cumulative; Weighted Overlay Analysis; Woodland Key Habitat;

   Abstract : Renewable energy development is breaking global records each year. European and national Swedish legislation target substantial portions of wind energy production by 2040. Sweden has ambitious objectives for wind energy, with plans to nearly triple its wind energy proportion in the next 17 years. READ MORE
