Optimized electric Drivetrain by INtegration (ODIN)
Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
One of the primary goals in the development of electric vehicles is to reduce the cost while ensuring performance and meeting automotive quality standards to reach market acceptance. System design of the electric power-train is based on existing components currently in different phases of the development process. Integrating these components into an electric power-train using current designs can o ...

Demonstration of methods and tools for the optimisation of operational reliability of large-scale industrial wind turbines (OPTIMUS)
Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,
The power output from wind turbines has increased dramatically over the past thirty years from 50 kW to 6 MW, while 8-12 MW turbines are in the stage of design. State-of-the-art condition monitoring systems, such as vibration-based systems and temperature sensors, are able to monitor and evaluate the current condition of components of interest. Nonetheless, varying wind loads can result in the gen ...

Industrialization of a 3 MW Medium-Speed Brushless DFIG Drivetrain for Wind Turbine Applications (WINDRIVE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2015,
This project is for the development and industrialization of a novel medium-speed wind turbine drivetrain (WTDT) designed to have an intrinsically higher reliability than the current most widely used high-speed WTDT, which employs a 3-stage gearbox and doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) with partially-rated converter. The reason that this existing WTDT is so widely employed is that it is cost-e ...

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 ...
