An experimental study on rotor-wake interactions of wind turbines
Mühle, Franz Volker (PhD Thesis;2018:55, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Interactions of wind turbine wakes with downstream turbines can reduce a wind farm’s power production and increase loads on the individual turbines. For the purpose of wind farm optimization, different aerodynamic ... -
Effects of access to renewable energy sources and technologies on rural household energy use and the environment in Ethiopia
Wassie, Yibeltal Tebikew (PhD Thesis;2020:50, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Access to modern, affordable, and reliable energy and clean cooking facilities is critical for Ethiopia to drive its economic development, reduce poverty and curb the negative environmental and health impacts of traditional ... -
A novel framework for coupling mesoscale and steady-state CFD models for wind resource assessment
Durán, Pablo (PhD Thesis;2020:30, Doctoral thesis, 2020)The estimation of the energy production of wind farms is a key factor for the development of wind energy projects. Currently, these estimations utilize only a few onsite measurement points to estimate the wind resource at ... -
Performance degradation studies on field-aged solar photovoltaic modules
Quansah, David Ato (PhD Thesis;2018:84, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, in its variant forms, has evolved over the last four decades to become a mainstream energy technology for terrestrial applications, and is already playing an important role in national ... -
Performance of a photovoltaic-thermal system in a tropical environment of central Ghana
Abdul-Ganiyu, Saeed (PhD Thesis;2022:14, Doctoral thesis, 2022)Access to energy has been heavily linked to socio-economic development. It is therefore not surprising that the energy poverty in sub-Saharan Africa has affected development in the subregion. However, as development ... -
Sensitivity analyses of the weather research and forecasting model for wind resource assessment in coastal Ghana
Dzebre, Denis Edem Kwame (PhD Thesis;2019:105, Doctoral thesis, 2019)With the rise of modern wind turbines, wind energy has grown to become a major source of generated electricity, alongside other renewable and conventional energy sources. The geographical and time dependent nature of wind ...
