Project description
A green spin on wind blade technology
As climate change intensifies, transitioning to renewable energy sources becomes critical. Wind power is a promising solution, yet the durability and efficiency of wind turbine blades remain hurdles. To ensure a reliable and cost-effective energy future, advancements in blade technology are essential. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the REVOLUTION_WIND project is pioneering the development of a technology that will enable the production of larger, segmented wind blades with improved performance and sustainability. The project integrates a multifunctional 3D printed, self-sensing structure within a reversible adhesive layer to enhance damage tolerance and circularity of the next generation of wind blades. Furthermore, through advanced machine learning and experimental analysis, REVOLUTION_WIND aims to optimise the wind blades' lifespan.
Objective
The challenge of climate change poses a significant threat to humanity. It is essential to prioritise renewable and cost-effective energy sources while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of future generations. One of the primary solutions lies in the new generation of larger, segmented and more efficient wind blades.
The REVOLUTION_WIND project aims to enhance the circularity and damage tolerance of the new generation of larger and segmented wind blades by embedding a multifunctional self-sensing 3D printed structure within a reversible adhesive layer. The project will use a combination of supervised machine learning and experimental characterisation to devise a multi-modal monitoring system that can accurately predict the remaining useful life of the reversible adhesively bonded joints. The most cutting-edge outcome of REVOLUTION_WIND is a multifunctional 3D printed self-sensing structure that will work as an embedded reinforcement and generate input data for a machine learning framework for in-situ life assessment of the structural integrity of reversible adhesively bonded joints.
Finally, the successful implementation of REVOLUTION_WIND will contribute to achieving the European Green Deal's objective of establishing wind power as Europe's primary energy source while promoting a circular economy.
