This main objective of this project is to demonstrate procedures that can quantify the risk of failure, the remaining structural reliability and the maintenance costs upon extending the life of
IEA Wind Task 28” on Social Acceptance of Wind Energy Projects is a working group involving several countries, including the USA, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Japan, Ireland, Italy and the
Because these hours are incoherent and unpredictable, a constant availability of power is imperative and as a result the generator has to be operating around the clock. Thus Power Pack will contribute
A wind turbine power converter includes power modules mounted on cooling plates, which cool the component. The heat is transferred to the ambient by use of a water circuit and an air cooler. The
The project has generally the aim to support Denmark's participation in the "IEA Wind Energy R & D Implementing Agreement" in 2018 through participation as Alternate member in the Agreement Steering
The project will design and test innovative blade tips for wind turbines which can increase the existing rotor size, producing up to 8% more energy per year, while regulating loads in a smart way.
Every wind farm project requires accurate resource assessments to evaluate the energy yield and profitability, but for projects in hilly, mountainous or forested areas the measurement campaigns can be
Small cracks in wind turbine bearings are responsible for some of the most expensive wind turbine failures. Today, there are no certain methods of preventing the cracks, but a new project led by DTU
This project aims at improving the forecast of wind and waves for storm conditions offshore. We explore coupling strategies for the atmospheric, wave and ocean modeling using WRF (WRF-LES), MIKE 21 SW
The costs of the management of seabed wind farm interaction is high, around one third of the total costs of the foundation of offshore wind farms. The aim of the project is to reduce these costs by
The Megavind Partnership´s vision is to maintain and develop Danish position as wind energy hub and home to the world´s leading companies and research institutes. Megavind´s objective is to identify
Interruptions of installation/uninstallation of wind turbine blades due to high wind speed are a huge cost for the wind industry, especially offshore. The objective of this project is to be able to do
A unique and dedicated software tool for small and medium size wind turbines - Online WAsP - is proposed to ensure inexpensive but accurate calculations of energy yields, noise impacts and financial
The objective of this project is to establish a novel type of wind load simulator where the true nature of wind can be simulated. The wind load simulator is central part of a new generation of test
The purpose is to develop and demonstrate a solution, an integrated Crane Basket, solving the challenge to get technicians access to blades on installed turbines – on- as offshore, for safe and
Task27 will focus on the research needs for understanding small wind turbines and their performance in environments of high turbulence including the built-environment. The subtasks are: Continue the
The purpose of ODIN-WIND is to develop and demonstrate a management tool for the decommissioning of offshore wind turbines. The tool will enable stakeholders to reduce the risk, cost and time spent on
To develop and demonstrate cost effective solutions for mitigating leading edge damages on blades on both existing and future wind turbines, based on Bladena’s patented technologies for mitigating
The IEA Wind Task 33 is dealing with databases for optimizing reliability and maintenance procedures for wind turbines. The aim is to address the different developments of data collection and failure
