High Temperature Pipe Structural Health Monitoring System utilising Phased Array probes on TOFD configuration (HOTPHASEDARRAY)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Uncertainties in the calculation of the lifetime of superheated steam pipes in power plants that contain a minor defect create situations with potentially catastrophic results, typically costing €120 million per event. Superheated steam pipes are periodically inspected and depending on their defects sizes they may be replaced after a lifetime assessment has been performed. Common errors in defect ...

Application of the innovative data fusion based non-invasive approach for management of the diabetes mellitus (SKINDETECTOR)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by a high serum glucose level and by disturbances of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.Diabetics had a greater prevalence of skin manifestations in type 2 than type 1, and as the duration of the DM increased, the likelihood of developing skin manifestations also increased.Early referral to the dermatologist may help to dete ...

Development of an intelligent condition monitoring system for application on critical rotating components of industrial-scale wind turbines (INTELWIND)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"Wind energy currently provides approximately 3% of the overall European electricity production. However, with the current growth trends exhibited the wind energy industry is capable of delivering 12% of the overall European power production by 2020 and more than 20% by 2030.Operation and maintenance costs (O&M) constitute a sizeable share of the total annual costs of a wind turbine. For a new mac ...
