  1. 6. Studies of a Vertical Axis Turbine for Marine Current Energy Conversion : Electrical system and turbine performance

    Författare :Johan Forslund; Karin Thomas; Cameron Johnstone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : Ocean energy is a field of growing interest when it comes to renewable energy thanks to its high density of energy per unit area, and to the high predictability. Conversion of hydrokinetic energy, found in marine currents, is the utilization of the energy in free-flowing water for conversion to electric energy. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is today the fastest growing solution to reduce CO2 emissions in the electric energy mix. Upwind horizontal axis wind turbine with three blades has been the preferred technical choice for more than two decades. This horizontal axis concept is today widely leading the market. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Direct Driven Generators for Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Författare :Sandra Eriksson; Hans Bernhoff; Mats Leijon; Jörgen Blennow; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; synchronous generator; wind power; vertical axis wind turbine; simulations; experiments; finite element method; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Wind power is a renewable energy source that is increasingly used all over the world. Most wind turbines have a horizontal axis of rotation but a few have a vertical axis of rotation. The concept presented in this thesis is a straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine with a direct driven cable-wound permanent magnet synchronous generator. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Electromechanics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines

    Författare :Morgan Rossander; Sandra Eriksson; Hans Bernhoff; Daniel Karlsson; Uppsala universitet; []
