6 Esimerkkejä ehdotetuista tutkimusaiheista SRA 2014 DRAFT
7 Wind turbine as mechanical structure / materials Methods to achieve tailored structural characteristics of components. Improving knowledge about design loads for wind turbine components and sub systems to improve and optimize products Improved characterization of material properties, including fatigue and compression properties, size effects and recycling possibilities. Establishing more efficient description of the relationships between processing conditions and resulting processing defects and material properties. Development of composite materials and material interfaces with higher damage tolerance, higher strength and longer fatigue life. Continuous development of design and verification methods to improve structural strength and reliability of components. Establish a European virtual Wind Energy materials research center, mainly working in materials characterization
8 Wind turbine plant as a grid connected electricity plant Development of dedicated high-voltage electronics in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs of electricity transport within wind farms. Enhancement of power converters to maximize system efficiency and enable advanced control strategies and grid services. Development of new, light-weight, low-speed and low maintenance generators, including e.g. super conductors to substitute rare earth materials. Extension of design standards to include grid code requirements on an international level in order to facilitate interconnecting local or regional grids and thus international trading of electricity Control for optimization of the wind turbine s delivery of grid services
9 Operation and maintenance Failure identification, including characterization of damage and crack growth e.g. through built-in sensors Integration of condition monitoring and fault prediction capabilities into the wind turbine s control system. Development of sensors and associated analytical tools to determine remaining lifetime. Development of highly reliable (damage tolerant) repair methods and strategies Development of methods for easy replacements of components Development of methods to verify repairing techniques efficiency Development of maintenance strategies involving preventive, riskbased inspection techniques Development of dedicated access technologies
