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 ...

Advanced condition monitoring system for the assessment of wind turbines rotating parts (CMSWIND)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2015,
Current wind turbine condition monitoring methodologies can be time-consuming and a costly process and fail to achieve the reliability and operational efficiency required by the industry. For these reasons existing vibration-based Condition Monitoring System (CMS) usually fail to detect defects until they become critical.This project will show the applicability of the CMS enabling the prompt detec ...

"MAINtenance, renewaL and Improvement of rail transport iNfrastructure to reduce Economic and environmental impacts" (MAINLINE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
"Growth in demand for rail transportation across Europe is predicted to continue. Much of this growth will have to be accommodated on existing lines that contain old infrastructure. This demand will increase both the rate of deterioration of these elderly assets and the need for shorter line closures for maintenance or renewal interventions. However, interventions on elderly infrastructure will al ...
