Periodic Reporting for period 1 - XROTOR (X-ROTOR: X-shaped Radical Offshore wind Turbine for Overall cost of energy Reduction)
Período documentado: 2021-01-01 hasta 2022-06-30
The XROTOR project is important for society because it will greatly advance a new wind turbine concept that has the potential to reduce the cost of energy from offshore wind by 20-30%. Lower cost of wind energy is important for society as it will assist in accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy and will address the energy trilemma of cost, security of supply and sustainability.
The high level non-technical primary objectives of the XROTOR project are to create the design tools necessary to allow for the design of the X-Rotor concept, deliver an exemplary X-Rotor design, determine the X-Rotors environmental and socio-economic impact and lastly create a roadmap to bring the X-Rotor concept to commercialisation.
