Název projektu:
PS FP7 - TowerPower Continuous monitoring of the structural condition of the tower and supporting floating structure of floating and static offshore wind turbines (11 GB 41n7 3LLM)
Popis:
A consortium led by an East of England based organisation requires an Association from the field of non-destructive testing, materials, construction or marine/offshore energy sectors for an FP7 Research for SME Associations project. The aim of the project is to develop suitable and reliable techniques for monitoring wind turbine tower structures. The Association will be involved in the dissemination activities and will be required to provide knowledge about the industry/sector they represent.
Wind farm operators are becoming increasingly concerned at the inability to predict remaining life of the installations, as this a rapidly expanding sector and there is little information about likely rates of structural degradation and failure modes. In addition, experience from operation of older wind farms is of limited value, because the specification of these installations is evolving rapidly, with the capacity (and therefore size and weight) of the generator becoming larger and the consequent dimensions of the tower increasing. The effect is that it is very difficult to extrapolate experience with existing structures to the likely behaviour of new ones.
On these installations there are very large surface areas/volumes of material to be examined and degradation may occur almost anywhere, so that the inspection task is not trivial. Furthermore, there is no established structural monitoring industry dedicated to the wind sector.
The aim of this project is the development of suitable and reliable techniques for monitoring of wind turbine tower structures and joint that could suffer from grout damage and slippage.
This project will also develop a best practice and standardisation of the methods involved and that a programme of information and training for inspection personnel is produced and implemented.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The project duration is 2 years and the proposal is due to be submitted to the Research for SME Associations FP7 call later this year.
An Association from one of the following sectors is required to complete the project consortium:
- NDT
- construction
- materials
- marine / offshore energy
The Association will be mainly involved in the dissemination activities and ideally will provide their knowledge about the industry/sector they represent.
The benefits include the value for their members. I.e. the Association would get the IPRs (when applicable) that will license to their members.
