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
In the work concerning experimental verification of thick airfoils, the focus has been on airfoils used by the industry. The method has been verified with measurements on a NACA 63-215 airfoil
The project objective is to develop more generally applicable assessment and design criteria for isolated power supply systems, and the expected result is a guideline for design of such systems.
The purpose of the project was to investigate how the rotor design of an existing wind turbine can be extrapolated to a 4 MW turbine. Within the project two optimization codes for optimizing a large
Transfer of technology and industrial cooperation require a common framework, thus a compilation and analysis of Russian wind load and other external conditions in relation to European wind turbine
The project constitutes a continously running 5 years research programme on aeroelasticity with the objectives to improve the basis for design and optimization of wind turbines, and establish an
The purpose of the project is to develop and test micrometeorological tools for the prediction and estimation of properties of the wind that are important for loads on wind turbines situated on land
The purpose of the project is to perform an experimental investigation of extreme load on wind turbines, measuring both the wind field and the structural load response on high wind speed sites.
The aim of the project is to develop and test a sensor for registering lightning strikes to wind turbines to be included in the general survillance and control systems of modern wind turbines.
