16. Analysis to reduce ice-related production losses for wind turbines
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)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

17. Major Component Replacement on Floating Wind Turbines
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)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

18. Bluetooth Based Bird Detection System
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska HögskolaAbstract : Context: Windmills became one of main sources of energy. Sincethey are placed in open areas, there are many chances that birds mayenter the wind farms and get killed or damaged. Some wind farms usepulse radar systems for saving the birds from windmills. In this pulseradar technology, the turbines are turned off automatically when a birdis detected. READ MORE

19. The Paradigm Shift for Substations Technology within Wind Power Applications from Onshore to Floating
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Floating wind turbines are attracting more attention as more than three-quarters of the total offshore technical potential is located in deep water, leading to a growing trend in floating wind farm projects. Consequently, it becomes necessary to develop Floating Offshore Substation (FOSS) to step up voltage and efficiently transmit power to the shore with minimal losses. READ MORE

20. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.
