  2. 11. Rut Depth Prediction on Flexible Pavements - Calibration and Validation of Incremental-Recursive Models

    Author : Sven Agardh; Trafik och väg; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; offshore technology; Civil engineering; hydraulic engineering; Teknik; Technological sciences; PM-system; deterioration models; rutting; pavement design; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : In later years the development of pavement design has gone towards more and more analytically based methods. Future design will probably be based on incremental deterioration models. The objective is to evaluate different types of rut depth prediction models for an incremental design process. READ MORE

  4. 12. Offshore deployments of marine energy converters

    Author : Maria Angeliki Chatzigiannakou; Irina Temiz; Mats Leijon; Tony Lewis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : offshore deployments; risk assessment; wave energy converter installation; marine current energy converter installation; economic efficiency; time efficiency; offshore operations; point absorber; hydrodynamic analysis; slack sling criterion; hoisting system failure.;

    Abstract : The depletion warning of non-renewable resources, such as gas, coal and oil, and the imminent effects of climate change turned the attention to clean and fossil fuel-free generated electricity. University research groups worldwide are studying solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and ocean energy harvesting. READ MORE

  5. 13. Ocean Wave Energy : Underwater Substation System for Wave Energy Converters

    Author : Magnus Rahm; Mats Leijon; Ted Brekken; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wave energy; wave power; wave energy converter; direct-drive; permanent magnet linear generator; point absorber; array; farm; park; offshore; marine; substation; electrical transmission system; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with a system for operation of directly driven offshore wave energy converters. The work that has been carried out includes laboratory testing of a permanent magnet linear generator, wave energy converter mechanical design and offshore testing, and finally design, implementation, and offshore testing of an underwater collector substation.

  6. 14. Wave Loads and Peak Forces on Moored Wave Energy Devices in Tsunamis and Extreme Waves

    Author : Linnea Sjökvist; Malin Göteman; Mats Leijon; Peter Stansby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OpenFOAM; CFD; Wave power; Tsunami waves; Extreme waves; Offshore; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Surface gravity waves carry enormous amounts of energy over our oceans, and if their energy could be harvested to generate electricity, it could make a significant contribution to the worlds power demand. But the survivability of wave energy devices in harsh operating conditions has proven challenging, and for wave energy to be a possibility, peak forces during storms and extreme waves must be studied and the devices behaviour understood.

  7. 15. Automated Production Technologies and Measurement Systems for Ferrite Magnetized Linear Generators

    Author : Tobias Kamf; Mats Leijon; Jonas Öhr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; industrial robotics; automation; self-sensing; calibration; ferrite; linear generator; wave energy; offshore; measurements; electronics; kinetic energy storage; reluctance motor; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : The interest in breaking the historical dependence on fossil energy and begin moving towards more renewable energy sources is rising worldwide. This is largely due to uncertainties in the future supply of fossil fuels and the rising concerns about humanity’s role in the currently ongoing climate changes. READ MORE
