Cyber Physical System based Proactive Collaborative Maintenance (MANTIS)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2018,

The overall concept of MANTIS is to provide a proactive maintenance service platform architecture based on Cyber Physical Systems that allows to estimate future performance, to predict and prevent imminent failures and to schedule proactive maintenance. Maintenance is no longer a necessary evil that costs what it costs, but an important function that creates additional value in the business proces ...

Future Deep Sea Wind Turbine Technologies (DeepWind)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The hypothesis of this project is that a new wind turbine concept developed specifically for offshore application has potentials for better cost efficiency than existing offshore technology. Based on this hypothesis the objectives are: i)to explore the technologies needed for development of a new and simple floating offshore concept with a vertical axis rotor and a floating and rotating foundation ...

Offshore Wind Turbine Towers – A Quicker, Cheaper Flange Supply Route (RingMan)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

There is a tendency to higher power offshore wind turbines, leading to larger turbine towers (5m diameter and greater) and a requirement for large diameter connection flanges between the tower sections and between the tower and foundation transition pieces. Currently, forged rings are specified, with inherently high cost and few suppliers worldwide. This leads to long lead times and higher costs f ...

Novel technology for HIgh-PERformance piezoelectric Actuators (HIPER-Act)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Piezoelectric multilayer actuators performance and reliability needs to be improved to meet the growing demand from end-users with many different types of applications. The high production costs and problems related to obtaining reliable components explain that the utilization of piezo actuators up to now is far from having reached its full potential. Noliac and its partners for the IP are proposi ...

Distributed Control of Large-Scale Offshore Wind Farms project proposal (Aeolus)

Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

A key socio-economic challenge for Europe is: how to deal with a climate change, while meeting rapidly increasing demand for energy and ensuring security of supply? Wind energy can be a significant part of the answer. The new frontier of the wind industry is large-scale offshore wind farms. While promising, considerable research and development tasks remain to be carried out before it reaches its ...

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 ...
