Processes and software for production and characterisation of industrial multi-functional surfaces
In the lifespan of a wind turbine, the gearbox is replaced on average four times due to wear and tear. All together this is almost the cost of a new turbine.
Project description
During the project, image-editing software will be developed to calculate functional parameters reflecting various coexisting surface properties. The multifunctional surfaces will be designed and tested for use in a wind turbine gearbox to demonstrate the potential for prolonged lifetime for this critical key component. (Energy 10)
