EcoSwing - Energy Cost Optimization using Superconducting Wind Generators - World’s First Demonstration of a 3.6 MW Low-Cost Lightweight DD Superconducting Generator on a Wind Turbine (EcoSwing)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2019,
EcoSwing aims at world's first demonstration of a superconducting low-cost, lightweight drive train on a modern 3.6 MW wind turbine.EcoSwing is quantifiable: The generator weight is reduced by 40% compared to commercial permanent magnet direct-drive generators (PMDD). For the nacelle this means a very significant weight reduction of 25%. Assuming series production, cost reduction for the generator ...

Standardisation of Point Absorber Wave Energy Convertors by Demonstration (STANDPOINT)
Start date: Nov 16, 2009, End date: Nov 15, 2014,
In contrast to other renewable energy sources, wave energy conversion is currently at a stage of evolution where it is being demonstrated using a wide range of very diverse technologies and a de facto standard approach is yet to emerge. A fully functional, but reduced scale prototype Wavebob wave energy converter (WEC) has already been deployed in the Atlantic Ocean. STANDPOINT will seek to demons ...

CLEAN NORTH SEA SHIPPING: Competitive Marine Transport Services AND Reduction of Emission – a North Sea Model (CNSS)
Start date: Sep 30, 2010, End date: Sep 29, 2013,
CNSS will focus on emission and greenhouse gas reduction from ships, using studies to reveal the status of air quality in ports and surrounding areas. The partnership of CNSS (ports, business, regions, public authorities, NGOs, research institutes) will change this by creating transparency on cost-efficient technology solutions and develop and improve the introduction of successful air quality pro ...

Power Optimised Ship for Environment with Electric Innovative Designs ON board (POSE²IDON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"The electric ship concept offers many benefits; among other aspects if offers flexibility of control and effectiveness of power transmission. But predominantly it enables higher energy conversion efficiency by ensuring that prime movers are effectively loaded at all times and across all operating conditions. This dominating advantage cannot be matched by mechanical transmission systems because ge ...

GOAL Based Damage Stability (GOALDS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"The new probabilistic damage stability regulations for dry cargo and passenger ships (SOLAS 2009), which entered into force on January 1, 2009, represent a major step forward in achieving an improved safety standard through the rationalization and harmonization of damage stability requirements. There are, however, serious concerns regarding the adopted formulation for the calculation of the survi ...

Next generation design tool for optimisation of wind farm topology and operation (TOPFARM)
Start date: Dec 1, 2007, End date: Nov 30, 2010,
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 ...

PROcedures for TESTing and measuring wind energy systems (PROTEST)
Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,
One of the major causes of failures of mechanical systems (e.g. drive trains, pitch systems, and yaw systems) in wind turbines is insufficient knowledge of the loads acting on these components. The objective of this pre-normative project is to set up a methodology that enables better specification of design loads for the mechanical components. The design loads will be specified at the interconnect ...
