Closed Loop Wind Farm Control (CL-Windcon)

Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,

Current practice in wind turbines operation is that every turbine has its own controller that optimizes its own performance in terms of energy capture and loading. This way of operating wind farms means that each wind turbine operates based only on the available information on its own measurements. This gets the wind farm to operate in a non-optimum way, since wind turbines are not operating as pl ...

Wind Resource Assessment Audit and Standardization (WAUDIT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"The objective of WAUDIT is the generation of a pool of researchers, in the field of wind resource assessment, in order to support the technological development of wind energy as one of the fastest growing industries worldwide (annual increase rate of 20%). The scientific motivation of the project is grounded on current state-of-the-art at industrial level. A technical audit to industry provides t ...

Northern Seas Wind Index Database (NORSEWIND)

Start date: Aug 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2012,

NORSEWInD is a programme designed to provide a wind resource map covering the Baltic, Irish and North Sea areas. The project will acquire highly accurate, cost effective, physical data using a combination of traditional Meteorological masts, ground based remote sensing instruments (LiDAR & SoDAR) and Satellite acquired SAR winds.The vertical resolution of the ground based instruments will be used ...

"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 ...

 FINISHED 
During recent years, wind energy has moved from an emerging technology to become a nearly competitive technology. This fact, coupled with an increasing global focus on environmental concern, as e.g. expressed in the Kyoto protocol, and a political desire on a certain level of diversification in the energy supply, ensures wind energy an important role in the future electric energy supply market. An ...
