This project is the first phase in the development of an advanced test facility which will enable the wind power industry to develop and test new grid connection solutions, and validate the grid
The objective of the project has been to develop and commercialize nacelle-LIDAR technology for power performance verifications such that the expensive and often difficult use of met masts offshore
The project dealt with: optimal use of vortex generators, VGs, that are presently used on most wind turbine blades. Their main effect is to delay separation in the inner part of the blades where for
The projecthas developed a methodto measurenoisefromairfoilsinan industrialwind tunnel,which willhelp to increase theDanishwind turbinecompetitiveness.The methodisthe key tonew
It is a concern in wind energy that wind turbines do not yaw efficiently into the wind due to draw backs of nacelle anemometry. The loss of power is estimated to be 1-3% in flat terrain and offshore
The main goal of the project was to develop, demonstrate and implement new tools, models and components in the design process for aeroelastic optimization of Mega-Watt wind turbines with the scope of
The project has used tools for process simulation to improve understanding of wind turbine blades. Based on the measurements, the project participants designed a new wing, followed by a demonstration
The objective of the project is to make a 24 m long 1:10 scale version of a Leancon wave power machine that uses airflows created by a wave moving up and down a tube. The project is based on a
Meteorological mini-sensors placed on, for example, small model planes constitute a rapidly advancing area. The project will produce a clear picture of existing mini-sensors and the planes and examine
The objective is to develop better extreme wind condition wind atlases usable for wind turbine manufacturers and for locating wind turbines. The key method of the project uses mesoscale modelling to
The project aims at optimising Wave Star wave machine production from irregular waves through sophisticated control of the back pressure in the hydraulic system in each floater. The system is being

The project aims to develop objective methods to allocate reserve and utilize the intra day market in order to reduce the risk of system imbalance during periods of high uncertainty of the weather
The project develops a simulation platform, including wind, wind turbine main components and power grid. The platform will enable the study of wind turbine performance, and will support key components
What causes cracks and damage on different length scales to become major cracks and damage which may develop into fractures in e.g. the blade of a wind turbine? DCCSM tests this aspect through
The project gathers international research communities to develop design tools and a common design basis for wave power facilities to make them more competitive. The aim is to develop a wave-to-wire
The Centre conducts basic research in wind turbine aerodynamics and wind turbulence with emphasis on their interaction. The aim is to develop reliable and verified simulation tools for design and
In the lifespan of a wind turbine, the gearbox is replaced on average four times due to wear and tear. All together this is almost the cost of a new turbine.
