Aerodynamic forcing of the fore-aft bending of a wind turbine due to turbulence
This project, conducted within the framework of the Chaire EOLE with educational input from Siemens Gamesa, explores the dynamic interaction between wind turbulence and wind turbine structures, particularly focusing on the fore-aft bending due to aerodynamic forces. This research examines how wind turbulence affects turbine stability and longevity, using computational simulations and theoretical models to…

R2D2 – Solar renewable energy development in Svalbard
The R2D2 project, a core part of Arthur Garreau’s PhD research at the Arctic Technology Department, was conducted in collaboration with UNIS. During my internship, I contributed to this initiative, which focuses on adapting solar energy systems to the extreme Arctic environment of Svalbard and addressing renewable energy challenges in high-latitude regions. Context As Longyearbyen…

Real time visualization of the data from an onboard weather station
During my intership with the University Center in Svalbard (UNIS), I got to work on the IWIN project to prepare the automatic weather station (AWS) for their deployment on the different boats together with Lukas Frank and Marius Jonassen. For the season 2024, the UNIS boat Hanna Resvoll has received a weather station and I…

Arctic Ground Penetrating Radar Survey
Picture : Gunnhild Næss In this project, I used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to investigate subsurface structures at a 2018 landslide site in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The survey aimed to support predictive models for natural disasters, such as landslides, by mapping sedimentary layers and potential bedrock features. Conducting the study in steep, rocky terrain presented physical…

Building a person following robot
Together with Thaïs Le Gallic and Héloïse Lecocq we designed a robot with the aim of following a person during a party with a glass. This project was part of the study program of the Mechanical Engineering department of the engineering school INSA Rouen Normandie. Our supervisors during this project were Frederic MARSEILLE and David…
