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 ...

Wind turbine blade Anti / De-icing, combined Ultrasonic guided wave and vibration system (DEICE-UT)
Date du début: 1 août 2013, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2015,
The DeICE-UT project will overcome the current limitations of existing wind turbine blade de-icing systems by developing an innovative dual de-icing system combining both high power ultrasonic guided waves and low frequency vibrations. Previous work on helicopter blades has shown that low frequency vibrations are highly effective at de-icing across the blades except at the leading edges, whilst th ...

Development of Advanced Shearography System for On-Site Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades (DashWin)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2014,
Wind energy is a fast growing (>20% pa) industry worldwide and European companies have two-thirds of the share, according to European Wind Energy Association. Due to the increase in wind farms, new techniques are required to provide maintenance and inspection of the wind installations with reduced cost and enhanced reliability. It is estimated that the business opportunity for wind turbine blade i ...

Adapted Composite Repair Tooling for in-situ wind turbine blades structural rehabilitation (CORETO)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
"The wind turbine industry is the fastest growing market area for the use of composite materials. Current state-of-the-art turbines are increasing in size, providing multi-megawatt power output. To generate such power turbine rotorblade diameters exceeding 100m along with nacelle heights of 120m are becoming standard. As turbines grow and their deployment becomes more widespread and remote, it is ...
