new MAterials and REliability in offshore WINd Turbines technology (MARE-WINT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

One of the strategic objectives of the industrial initiative of the SET Plan on wind energy is to reduce cost of energy by improving reliability of wind turbines and their components and optimizing operation and maintenance (O&M) strategies. Increasing reliability and optimizing O&M have a direct impact on the availability of wind turbines and thus reduce cost and increase energy output. This stra ...

Achieve QUieter Oceans by shipping noise footprint reduction (AQUO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Recent directives outline the need to mitigate underwater noise footprint due to shipping, to prevent negative consequences to marine life. In that context, the final goal of AQUO project is to provide to policy makers practical guidelines, acceptable by shipyards and ship owners. The list of solutions will be split into solutions regarding ship design (including propeller and cavitation noise), a ...

Integrated Flooding Control and Standard for Stability and Crises Management (FLOODSTAND)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

"The size of new passenger ships is continuously increasing. Bigger size offers bigger opportunities and economics of scale, but when a bigger ship accommodates more passengers there may be a higher risk, if evacuation is needed. Thus, new approaches have to be used and further developed in order to have the flooding under control if the watertight integrity of the ship is lost. In the worst case ...

Intuitive operation and pilot training when using marine azimuthing control devices (AZIPILOT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

"The aim is to improve by policy and design, the safety and security of ships by taking into account the man-machine interface and the training of maritime pilots; specifically when operating ships equipped with azimuthing control devices. From the thrusters on smaller, but numerous, harbour support vessels through to the pod-drives on cruise ships and ocean going liners, azimuthing control has ra ...
