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 ...

Tyre Recycling Pyrolysis for producing oil with less than 0.2% sulphur content, low cost sulphur impregnated carbon for reducing mercury air emissions, with simultaneous elemental (SULFREE)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,

SULFREE offers a complete, end-to-end process for ELT recycling, which breaks down tyres to valuable productsthat can be reused by the EU tyre industry; instead of merely recycling them either as tyre crumb or as fuel (i.e.tyres are burned for power production). The recovery of oil and sulphur reduces the dependence on importedproducts and lessens the effect of price volatility on tyre production ...

The development of a modular ‘stepping locomotion’ system for installation on subsea trenching machines used for subsea energy cable burial (HEXATERRA)

Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2015,

Offshore wind and tidal energy generation is becoming an increasingly important component of the world’s energy mix with Europe at the forefront of this technological revolution. Continued strong growth is predicted. However, a growing problem is manifesting itself within the industry.The submarine cables that are an essential infrastructural component of offshore energy now account for 80% of ins ...

Medium range Ultrasonic inspection technique for detecting micro-biologically induced corrosion in automatic fire sprinkler systems (SPRINKTEST)

Date du début: 1 nov. 2013, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2015,

The installation of sprinklers can result in substantial reductions in insurance premiums and so insurance companies are becoming increasingly interested in their proper installation and function. For example, the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association has abundant evidence about the effectiveness of their members’ technology in reducing loss of life and property in office, residential, reta ...

Advanced condition monitoring system for the assessment of wind turbines rotating parts (CMSWIND)

Date du début: 1 juin 2012, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

Current wind turbine condition monitoring methodologies can be time-consuming and a costly process and fail to achieve the reliability and operational efficiency required by the industry. For these reasons existing vibration-based Condition Monitoring System (CMS) usually fail to detect defects until they become critical.This project will show the applicability of the CMS enabling the prompt detec ...

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 ...

Laser-guided inspection robot for the Non-Destructive Testing of thin steel gauge welds in the shipping industry (X-Scan)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2011, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2013,

Ocean going ships are the most cost effective form of transporting bulk goods around the world. To date, Europe owns nearly 40% of the world’s fleet of ships, which account for 90% of its external trade and 40% of its internal trade. Moreover, in the supply of ship building components and services, the EU is a world leader. As a result, the maritime industry, which includes ship building and ship ...
