Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Ventura Habitat (Commercialisation of Ventura Habitat - a novel wind turbine blade maintenance enclosure tomaximize downtime productivity)
Période du rapport: 2018-02-01 au 2018-04-30
Importance for society: The Paris Climate Agreement is coming into force in 2020 and wind power will play the major role in providing this. With Ventura Habitat, this can be achieved without the reliance on ideal weather conditions for maintenance meaning more turbines can be serviced and repaired which will be crucial in securing wind energy.
Objectives: The overall objective of this development project is to understand the best market to deliver the Ventura Habitat to and identify adopters for market entry of this disruptive solution to the wind industry.
Furthermore, feedback demonstrates clear appetite for a fixed price model whereby GEV take on weather risk and provides client with predictive cashflow. This gives GEV a clear USP over the competition in the blade repair sector who do not accept unpredictable weather risk.
