Automated mechanical property and fatigue life assessment of composite wind turbine blades in less than 4 hours (AutoWinSpec)
Start date: Mar 1, 2014, End date: May 31, 2016,
...s a market of some 140€ billion and wind energy is the clear front runner.Presently in situ blade inspection is carried out every 3-6 month visually or with manual operatives involved in dangerous abseiling. In certain cases, a blade is dismantled and transported onshore, making the turbine downtime very high.The AUTOWINSPEC project will provide a system to automatically estimate the condition and ...

Wind turbine blade Anti / De-icing, combined Ultrasonic guided wave and vibration system (DEICE-UT)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2015,
...lting from ice thrown from the blades.The SME consortium target a significant penetration of the EU market within a 5 year period, achieving sales of ~ €71.5 million and creating ~475 jobs. Implementation of the technology across the EU will make a significant contribution to increasing the renewable energy share and reducing CO2 emissions.

Development of Advanced Shearography System for On-Site Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades (DashWin)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,
...s. This will be the first time that a shearography system is used for inspecting a WTB in-service at a wind energy installation.The proposed concept and system is not limited to NDT of rotating WTBs, and can be extended to inspect other dynamic structures with large rigid body motion.• Develop a wavefront splitter and/or a compact spatial carrier mask to achieve simultaneous spatial phase shifting ...

Adapted Composite Repair Tooling for in-situ wind turbine blades structural rehabilitation (CORETO)
Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 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 ...
