Riblet-Surfaces for Improvement of Efficiency of Wind Turbines

This report describes the final Dissemination and Exploitation plan as well as the achieved D&E results.

This report summarises the findings of the performance evaluation of the two technology sreams and the concluding selection of the technology for up-scaling and field testing.

This report outlines the preliminary plan for dissemination and exploitation activities envisaged by the individual project beneficiaries.

This report describes the test results of the application technique on the mock-up.

This report describes the results of the performance investigation on the prototypic rotor blades equipped with the riblet stractures.

This report desribes the final requirements for - performance of materials and processes - production - riblet tolerances - maintenance - means of compliance as refined according to the progressing work witihn the first project months.

This report outlines the expected impact of the riblet-coated rotor-blades on their performance in terms of power generation.

The material for the embossing mould has been defined based on the requirements in terms of material properties and compatibility with the coating as developed in WP4.

The coated rotor blades have been successfully mounted to the selected wind turbine.

This deliverable comprises the optmised coating material for application on the rotor blades

This deliverable comprises prototypes of coated rotor blades as well as the basic design for the coating process.

This deliverable is a demonstrator of the disposable slot die for the riblet applicator.
