Descripción del proyecto
Red de formación sobre tecnologías LiDAR eólicas
La medición del viento mediante LiDAR (detección y medición de distancias por luz) es una técnica en la que se emplean rayos láser para obtener la velocidad y dirección del viento con un gran nivel de precisión. El proyecto LIKE, financiado por el programa Marie Skłodowska-Curie, ofrecerá formación para una nueva generación de científicos sobre las nuevas técnicas de medición del viento por láser, y sobre sus posibles aplicaciones en la industria. Una predicción exacta de la productividad energética es esencial para la efectividad de las turbinas eólicas —y de parques eólicos en conjunto— a la hora de aumentar la producción de energía y reducir las cargas mecánicas. También puede contribuir a la seguridad de los aterrizajes, gracias al mapeo de patrones de flujos atmosféricos inusuales en aeropuertos, o a optimizar el diseño de puentes, mediante el trazado de los efectos de la turbulencia eólica en estas estructuras.
Objetivo
LIdar Knowledge Europe (LIKE) fosters training and education of young researchers on emerging laser-based wind measurement technologies and its translation into industrial applications. Doppler Lidars (light detection and ranging) that measured the wind in the atmosphere remotely have reduced in price and increased reliability over the last decade mainly driven by European universities and companies serving the growing wind energy industry. This opens the possibility for new applications in many areas. LIKE improves, tests and refines the technology thus expanding these areas of application. LIKE promotes wind energy applications such as wind resource mapping using scanning lidars and control of individual wind turbines or entire wind farms in order to increase energy production and reduce mechanical loads. LIKE maps unusual atmospheric flow patterns over airports in real-time and thus improves the safety of landing aircrafts. LIKE explores wind and turbulence under extreme conditions at the sites of future European bridges paving the road for optimal bridge design. LIKE trains 15 ESRs to an outstanding level at world-leading European academic institutions and industrial companies, thus forming strong interdisciplinary relations between industry and technical sciences. These relations are implemented through employment of the ESRs at academia as well as industry, and through inter-sectoral secondments. Finally, translation of technology into specific applications is emphasised through the implementation of an entrepreneurship training course involving all ESRs and LIKE partners, particularly industry.
