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
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
