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
The main points of the project are: 1) Improved methods for modelling of vertical and horizontal variation of wind speeds. 2) Verification, calibration and improvement of acoustic sensors for remote
The object of the research-project is to select which methods will give the best simulation of environmental influence in relation to the geographical placing of the mills, to be able to select what
The project concerns the modelling of aerodynamically generated sound from wind turbines with the aim of predicting and reducing noise emission from wind turbines.
Background: Planning wind farms offshore are generally based on little knowledge of the wind speeds. It is due to the limited amount of offshore meteorological observations worldwide. This again has
