Erosion and Ice Resistant cOmposite for Severe operating conditions (EIROS)

Start date: Mar 8, 2016, End date: Mar 7, 2019,

In the wind power generation, aerospace and other industry sectors there is an emerging need to operate in the low temperature and highly erosive environments of extreme weather conditions. Such conditions mean current materials either have a very short operational lifetime or demand such significant maintenance as to render many applications either very expensive to operate or in some cases non-v ...

Cost-driven Adaptive Factory based on Modular Self-Contained Factory Units (COSMOS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Wind turbines and aeronautic are sectors where Europe is leading the world class competition. To guarantee this competitiveness, their productivity has to be improved. The adoption of an automation strategy is a key factor to increase productivity. In the wind turbine manufacturing, the assembly is one of the core processes. Most of these assembly operations are manual which has the quality of bei ...

"Reliability focused research on optimizing Wind Energy systems design, operation and maintenance: Tools, proof of concepts, guidelines & methodologies for a new generation." (RELIAWIND)

Start date: Mar 15, 2008, End date: Mar 14, 2011,

"The EU Council of Ministers held 8 & 9th march 2007 examined theses issues and agreed: “Renewable energy will cover at least 20 % of the EU’s energy demand by 2020”, amongst others. Wind power can make the most important contribution to these targets, if sufficient emphasis is established on technological R&D and market development. Because of the current European scenario and its forecasted evol ...
