16. Aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Development of Simulation Tools and Experiments
Sammanfattning : This thesis combines measurements with the development of simulation tools for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Numerical models of aerodynamic blade forces are developed and validated against experiments. The studies were made on VAWTs which were operated at open sites. LÄS MER
17. On the Attachment of Lightning Flashes to Wind Turbines
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this thesis aims at investigating the attachment of lightning flashes to wind turbines. Modern wind turbines are highly exposed to lightning strikes, due to the increase of their height and the rotation of the blades. Upward lightning is the dominant mechanism of lightning strikes to them. LÄS MER
18. Modeling and Linear Quadratic Optimal Control of Wind Turbines
Sammanfattning : Control can improve the performance of wind turbines by enhancing the energy capture and reducing dynamic, as well as static, loads. There are several possible configurations of the control system, depending on the available actuators. LÄS MER
19. Wind power wake modelling : Development and application of an actuator disc method for industrial utilization
Sammanfattning : As a wind turbine extracts energy from the wind it creates a region downstream where the wind velocity is decreased and the urbulence intensity is increased, this region is commonly called the wake region. Today’s wind farms include a large number of wind turbines position in tight layouts. LÄS MER
20. Characterization and forecasting of wind conditions over the Baltic Sea
Sammanfattning : To meet the increasing demand of sustainably produced electricity, the total number of installed wind turbines is rapidly increasing globally. Although onshore installations are dominating, offshore wind power is taking a greater share of the market every year. LÄS MER
