Wind power for cooking
(Master thesis, 2023)Tilgangen på elektrisitet i Tanzania har det siste tiåret vært av de raskest voksende i subsahariske Afrika, med en økende tilgang fra 7% til 37.7% mellom 2011 og 2020. Selv om tilgangen i urbane områder har nådd 73.2%, ... -
Wind tunnel experiments on wind turbine wakes in yaw: effects of inflow turbulence and shear
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The wake characteristics behind a yawed model wind turbine exposed to different customized inflow conditions are investigated. Laser Doppler anemometry is used to measure the wake flow in two planes at x∕D = 3 and x∕D = 6, ... -
Wind tunnel experiments on wind turbine wakes in yaw: redefining the wake width
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper presents an investigation of wakes behind model wind turbines, including cases of yaw misalignment. Two different turbines were used and their wakes are compared, isolating effects of boundary conditions and ... -
Wind tunnel investigation on the effect on the turbine tower on wind turbines wake symmetry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In wind farms, the wake of the upstream turbines becomes the inflow for the downstream machines. Ideally, the turbine wake is a stable vortex system. In reality, because of factors like background turbulence, mean flow ... -
Wind tunnel model testing of offshore platforms
(Master thesis, 2012)The purpose of this thesis is to highlight some of the areas of interest when it comes to wind tunnel experimenting of offshore platforms regarding stability concerns such as critical angles and wind overturning moment. ... -
Wind tunnel study on power output and yaw moments for two yaw-controlled model wind turbines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In this experimental wind tunnel study the effects of intentional yaw misalignment on the power production and loads of a downstream turbine are investigated for full and partial wake overlap. Power, thrust force and yaw ... -
Wind Tunnel Study on the Tip Speed Ratio’s Impact on a Wind Turbine Wake Development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)(based on the turbine diameter and the freestream velocity). For all cases, the mean streamwise velocity deficit at the centerline evolves close to a power law in the far wake, and we check the validity of the Jensen and ... -
Wind Turbine Design: Evaluation of Dynamic Loads on Large Offshore Wind Turbines
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2012:241, Doctoral thesis, 2012)A design method for combined aerodynamic and structural (aeroelastic) design of large wind turbine blades has been developed, with the purpose of facilitating conceptual design, parametric studies, optimisation, or cost ... -
Wind Turbine Simulations with OpenFOAM
(Master thesis, 2018)An actuator disk model is improved by including an impermeable hub and nacelle. This improves the wake flow a lot, but it turns out that the actuatorDiskExplicitForce model is mesh dependent. A mesh is made that provides ... -
Wind Turbine Wake Interactions - The Influence of Shear on a Wind Turbine Wake
(Master thesis, 2015)Full wake measurements have been performed on a model wind turbine at NTNU s wind tunnel to investigate the impact of shear flow compared to uniform flow on the wake flow. Mean and turbulent velocity measurements have been ... -
Winglet optimization for a model-scale wind turbine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)A winglet optimization method is developed and tested for a model-scale wind turbine. The best-performing winglet shape is obtained by constructing a Kriging surrogate model, which is refined using an infill criterion based ... -
Wood burning habits and its effect on the electrical energy demand of a retrofitted Norwegian detached house
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Using firewood as a space heating source is a popular solution in Norwegian housing and can significantly reduce the electrical energy demand of houses. This study analysed habits and reasons for using a wood stove from ... -
Wood Pellets Utilized in the Commercial and Residential Sectors: - an in-depth study of selected barriers for increased use
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:322, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Biomass is an important energy carrier since it is a renewable source and the energy content in the fuel can be stored over time and also generate high temperatures. Bioenergy can be in liquid form, gas-phase or solid. The ... -
Wood stove material configurations for increased thermal comfort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)In this work, a numerical model of the heat transfer through composite wood stove walls has been used to study the effect of material configurations on the heat storage and the heat release profile to the room, to arrive ... -
Wood-Pellet Heating in Norway: Early Adopters' Satisfaction and Problems That Have Been Experienced
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Given the vital role of early adopters during the early stage of wood-pellet heating development, this study aims to explore the factors that explain the overall satisfaction among the early adopters of this type of heating ... -
