Project "Maintenance and Repair Strategy for Wind Energy Development"

Duration: October 1, 2020- September 31, 2023

Budget: 4.6 Mio kroner

Supported by Danida Fellowship Center

Coordinator: Leon Mishnaevsky Jr. (Senior Scientist, Dr. habil),

Schema of optimization of blade repair

Work Packages:

  1. Perspectives of maintenance and repair market on wind turbines.

  2. Field studies: degradation mechanisms and post-repair behaviour.

  3. Protection, maintenance and repair package: Development and validation.

  4. Computational model of wind turbine degradation and repair.

  5. Strategy and decision support for repair

  6. Capacity building in India: Training and network of specialists

Objective:

is to provide wind energy industry with technologies, guidelines and know-how for the efficient protection, maintenance and repair of wind turbines. The project includes the optimization of the wind turbine blade technology, validation of the technologies in practical situation, ensuring the enhanced reliability of wind turbines by optimized repair technologies, recommendations and guidelines toward the improvement of maintenance and repair technologies.
