Demonstration of methods and tools for the optimisation of operational reliability of large-scale industrial wind turbines (OPTIMUS)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2016,
The power output from wind turbines has increased dramatically over the past thirty years from 50 kW to 6 MW, while 8-12 MW turbines are in the stage of design. State-of-the-art condition monitoring systems, such as vibration-based systems and temperature sensors, are able to monitor and evaluate the current condition of components of interest. Nonetheless, varying wind loads can result in the gen ...

A wireless network with autonomously powered and active long range acoustic nodes for total structural health monitoring of bridges (WI-HEALTH)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
Wireless sensor networks have been identified as a research priority by the European Technology Platform on Smart Systems Integration (EPoSS). Recognising this, the SME's in this Project are seeking EC funding to develop a prototype wide-area wireless sensor network with autonomous nodes containing non-destructive (NDT) sensors, for structural health monitoring (SHM) of large structures, specifica ...

Development of an intelligent condition monitoring system for application on critical rotating components of industrial-scale wind turbines (INTELWIND)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2013,
"Wind energy currently provides approximately 3% of the overall European electricity production. However, with the current growth trends exhibited the wind energy industry is capable of delivering 12% of the overall European power production by 2020 and more than 20% by 2030.Operation and maintenance costs (O&M) constitute a sizeable share of the total annual costs of a wind turbine. For a new mac ...

Development of a Novel Integrated Inspection System for the Accurate Evaluation of the Structural Integrity of Rail Tracks (INTERAIL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 31 mars 2013,
"The European rail industry is showing signs of steady recovery after a long period of decline. The technological advances in train design have led to the manufacturing of faster, greener and more comfortable trains making rail transport a more attractive option for passengers in comparison with other means of transportation. The ever growing need for the society to employ more environmentally fri ...

Development and Demonstration of a Novel Integrated Condition Monitoring System for Wind Turbines (NIMO)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2012,
Wind energy is the most developed of a number of renewable energy technologies, with several thousands of wind turbines already operating or being planned for construction across Europe. Wind turbines can be deployed individually to power a single site or installation, but are most commonly grouped together as wind farms to provide power to the electricity grid. The energy output from wind turbine ...

Development of Novel Inspection Systems for Railway Wheelsets (SAFERAIL)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2008, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2011,
"The contribution of the rail industry to the economic growth of the EU member states is widely acknowledged. Very recently, the European rail industry has started showing signs of recovery after a long period of steady decline. The technological advances in train design during the last few decades have led to the manufacturing of faster and more comfortable trains making rail transport a more att ...
