Optimization of Perennial Grasses for Biomass Production (OPTIMA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

OPTIMA will integrate an ambitious biology system approach for perennial grasses such as switchgrass, miscanthus and giant reed in the Mediterranean environment. Moreover the perennial species cardoon, which has been proven to be particularly adapted to the Mediterranean climate, will be used as a control species.The main objective of the OPTIMA project is to identify high-yielding perennial grass ...

"Streamlining bio-research in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States with Europe through multilateral cooperation activities" (BIO TRIANGLE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

"BIO TRIANGLE brings together the leaders in BIO-research from Europe and four industrialised Third Countries – which together form a imaginary TRIANGLE around our globe. The project’s objective is to foster scientific and technological cooperation in the Knowledge-Based Bio Economy (KBBE) between Europe and Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. It builds upon two important, ongoin ...

Development and Demonstration of a Novel Integrated Condition Monitoring System for Wind Turbines (NIMO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

Wind energy is the most developed of a number of renewable energy technologies, with several thousands of wind turbines already operating or being planned for construction across Europe. Wind turbines can be deployed individually to power a single site or installation, but are most commonly grouped together as wind farms to provide power to the electricity grid. The energy output from wind turbine ...

Biomass Energy Europe (BEE)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

"The objective of the project is to harmonise biomass resource assessments, focusing on the availability of biomass for energy in Europe and its neighbouring regions. This harmonisation will improve the consistency, accuracy and reliability of biomass assessments, which can serve the planning of a transition to renewable energy in the European Union. The project activities will include (i) the ana ...

"Future Crops for Food, Feed, Fiber and Fuel" (4F CROPS)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

"As different sectors – food, feed, fiber, and fuels – compete for land, the yielding potential of the future non-food crops has to be as efficient as possible in order to minimize the competition for land. The main objective of the proposed 4F CROPS is to survey and analyse all the parameters that will play an important role in successful non-food cropping systems in the agriculture of EU27 along ...

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 ...
