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 objectives of this project is to improve on the current practice of basing performance evaluation on a single point measurement of wind speed and instead introduce a method where the wind field
This project has investigated noise emissions from large-scale wind turbines in relation to small-scale wind turbines. In addition, noise nuisance at low frequencies was investigated, noise
The aim of the project is to develop a simulation platform for generation of relevant wind fields applicable for aeroelastic design simulations. This is achieved by development, verification, and
The annex will give the participants an overview of the technical and environmental assessment challenges encountered in offshore applications and help them to understand the areas of further R and D
The wind farm output of an offshore-farm such as Horns Rev changes between nearly constant output to highly variable power output. A balance responsible would benefit from knowing the variability of a
The object of the project was to determine the wave impact on wind turbines and test ways to reduce such impacts. The project showed that all major wave loads are caused by breaking waves and that
The project developed a computer method for quantifying wind turbine structural loads caused by fault ride-through (FRT) requirements. Exemplified in the case of an active stall wind turbine this
