Automated mechanical property and fatigue life assessment of composite wind turbine blades in less than 4 hours (AutoWinSpec)

Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 31 mai 2016,

The wind turbine industry is one of the fastest growing markets. Current turbines are huge with turbine rotor diameters of over 100m becoming standard. EU energy policy calls for 20% of the EU's 3040Th/y electricity demand to come from renewable sources by 2020, which constitutes a market of some 140€ billion and wind energy is the clear front runner.Presently in situ blade inspection is carried o ...

Development of an ultrasonic testing technique to characterise diffusion bonds in layered structures (BondTest)

Date du début: 1 févr. 2014, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2016,

Diffusion bonding offers a number of advantages to a wide range of industry sectors and applications, particularly where there is a need to join dissimilar materials. The main advantage of diffusion bonding is that, unlike welding, it is not a 'fusion' process – it is a solid state process and the parent materials to be joined do not need to be melted. This makes diffusion bonding an ideal solutio ...

Development of a high sensitivity ultrasonic phased array Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for the early detection of creep damage (Type IV cracking) in alloy steels used in high temperature, high (CreepTest)

Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,

Creep is the time-dependent, thermally assisted deformation of a component operating under stress. Metal pressure components such as boiler tubing, headers, and steam piping in fossil-fired power plants operate at thermal conditions (above ~1,000ºF [538ºC]) conducive to causing creep damage over the operating life of the component.To ensure safe and reliable operation of such components in service ...

High Power Transmission Line Cable Inspection (CHAPLIN)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

There are many thousands of miles of high power line transmission cables dispersed around Europe. Some are installed in remote areas where it’s difficult to serve. Furthermore, line cables operate in severe conditions. The cables are subject to many environmental and operation factors such as moisture, voltage stress, omitting jacking and structural imperfections.These factors are the main reasons ...

Improved magnets for energy generation through advanced tidal technology (MAGNETIDE)

Date du début: 1 déc. 2012, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2014,

Gearless generators are of increasing interest and turbine system manufacturers are looking into gearless energy systems projecting onto 2015. Gear operates on mechanical engagement and friction which implies loss of energy and mechanical damage on parts in long term. Gearless generators, on the other hand, are possible by employing magnets, for which powder metallurgy (PM) and most notably powder ...

In-situ wireless monitoring of on - and offshore WINd TURbine blades using energy harvesting technology - Demonstration (WINTUR DEMO)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,

"WINTUR Demonstration Project will demonstrate the structural health monitoring (SHM) system that was developed successfully in the WinTur R4S project, in order to show that such a system is viable for blade monitoring and can help the wind sector to achieve the kind of energy delivery to business and communities that is desired by reducing operational and maintenance costs. This will be achieved ...

Whole Life Rail Axle Assessment and Improvement (Wolaxim)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,

Axles for railway trains are carefully engineered and high value items that are designed to last 20 years or more. There is however a current trend for axles to be withdrawn from service before this because of corrosion on the surface long before their design lives. The decision to withdraw from service is taken without the full knowledge of the way in which the failure will result from corrosion, ...
