Demonstration of methods and tools for the optimisation of operational reliability of large-scale industrial wind turbines (OPTIMUS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2013, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

The power output from wind turbines has increased dramatically over the past thirty years from 50 kW to 6 MW, while 8-12 MW turbines are in the stage of design. State-of-the-art condition monitoring systems, such as vibration-based systems and temperature sensors, are able to monitor and evaluate the current condition of components of interest. Nonetheless, varying wind loads can result in the gen ...

PhotoVoltaic Cost r€duction, Reliability, Operational performance, Prediction and Simulation (PVCROPS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

PV CROPS addresses 3 key objectives of the call topic:1) Improvement of performance, reliability and lifetime2) Cost reduction of PV systems3) Better integration of PV into gridThe 2 first objectives lead to a lower Levelized Cost of Energy, LCoE. So, the main objectives of PV CROPS are:1- Reduction of 30% of the LCoE of PV to achieve 0.14-0.07 €/kWh by 2020 and 0.20–0.09 €/kWh by 2015 and an incr ...

High Power, high Reliability offshore wind technology (HIPRWIND)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The aim of the HiPRwind project is to develop and test new solutions for very large offshore wind turbines at an industrial scale. The project addresses critical issues of offshore WT technology such as extreme reliability, remote maintenance and grid integration with particular emphasis on floating wind turbines, where weight and size limitations of onshore designs can be overcome.HiPRWind will t ...

Improvements to Integrate High Pressure Alkaline Electrolysers for Electricity/H2 production from Renewable Energies to Balance the Grid (ELYGRID)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

ELYGRID Project aims at contributing to the reduction of the total cost of hydrogen produced via electrolysis couple to Renewable Energy Sources, mainly wind turbines, and focusing on mega watt size electrolyzes (from 0,5 MW and up). The objectives are to improve the efficiency related to complete system by 20 % (10 % related to the stack, and 10 % electrical conversion) and to reduce costs by 25% ...
