Vindkraftverkens nedmonteringsprocess i Sverige
The first commercially produced wind turbines in Sweden are starting to reach theend of their lifetime after approximately 25 years of producing energy. The cost fordismantling the turbines, according to Ardefors et al. (2009), is calculated to be 1-2 %of the total investment of the wind turbines. The purpose of this master thesis is tomap the dismantling process of wind turbines in Sweden and try to find a sustainablesolution for the future.To make sure that a correct dismantling process takes place, and that the financialaspect is covered, a proposal for a financial guarantee is worked upon. A nationalunanimity will be created through a financial guarantee and the risk will be minimalof a third party getting afflicted.Studies of literature and interviews have been carried out. To explore the possibilitiesto new methods of dismantling the turbines, brainstorming has been done.The dismantling process of today is uncomplicated and can easiest be described as aninverted buildup. A second-hand market for wind turbines exists and the need forrecycle has not been that big jet. The problems within the dismantling process areknown but only to a few parties in the business.Research is carried out within the field of wind turbines today. The efficiency of usingthe winds energy or to make the construction easier and better for maintenance aretwo important and prioritised areas.To make a survey in countries that are a step ahead of Sweden, such as Germany,Denmark or U.S.A., would be very interesting and surely information can be used toimplement it in the Swedish system, but this aspect is not covered in this thesis.
