The Megavind Partnership was founded in 2006 and the project 2008-2010 is a continuation of the earlier stages of the partnership. It has been the goal of the partnership to establish the foundation
The work is a part of the international cooperation to the IEA-Wind Implementing Agreement, and belongs to a new task - Annex 28: Social Acceptance of Wind Energy Projects. The project has collected
This project is motivated by the vision of being able to understand and model complex structural mechanisms and failure in large composite structures such as current and future wind turbine blades
The project aims at developing a meteorological software tool for large wind farm planning. The project is based on data from previous projects on large wind farm shadow effect. The existing tools
The project focuses on a theoretical and experimental study of floating platforms for wind turbines, wave power systems and the relationship between wind and wave power. The project basis is the
The objective is to improve the design basis for large wind turbines by measuring wind and turbulence profiles at high altitude above a flat ground using modern instruments. The project will study
The vision is that the increased research on main wind turbine uncertainties and risk & reliability will lead to less conservative designs and more cost-efficient wind energy. Therefore, careful
The usage of new reinforcement fibre and resin systems allows for novel forms of blade design, cost optimisation and production methods that significantly reduces the production time.
The cooperation project is conducted with a PhD study as its central element and its research will be used directly in wind turbine and wnd farm development so as to prepare common guidelines under
In the work concerning experimental verification of thick airfoils, the focus has been on airfoils used by the industry. The method has been verified with measurements on a NACA 63-215 airfoil
The project objective is to develop more generally applicable assessment and design criteria for isolated power supply systems, and the expected result is a guideline for design of such systems.
The purpose of the project was to investigate how the rotor design of an existing wind turbine can be extrapolated to a 4 MW turbine. Within the project two optimization codes for optimizing a large
Transfer of technology and industrial cooperation require a common framework, thus a compilation and analysis of Russian wind load and other external conditions in relation to European wind turbine
The project constitutes a continously running 5 years research programme on aeroelasticity with the objectives to improve the basis for design and optimization of wind turbines, and establish an
The purpose of the project is to develop and test micrometeorological tools for the prediction and estimation of properties of the wind that are important for loads on wind turbines situated on land
The purpose of the project is to perform an experimental investigation of extreme load on wind turbines, measuring both the wind field and the structural load response on high wind speed sites.
The aim of the project is to develop and test a sensor for registering lightning strikes to wind turbines to be included in the general survillance and control systems of modern wind turbines.
