Analytical Fatigue Life Assessment of a Full-Scale Wind Turbine Test Bench
The objective of the project is to establish a digital model of the wind turbine test bench – a digital twin. Modelling of the key components of the test bench, is vital to our ability to assess and validate the loadings imposed on vital key components of the test bench during service. Understanding how the complicated 3D loading patterns, which we impose on the wind turbines under test, are distributed in the test bench itself, and locating potential hot-spots, is essential to our ability to secure safe operations. The research project is carried out in collaboration with Lindø Off-shore Renewables Center (LORC). The project was funded by Innovation fund.
Fault Detection of Rolling Element Bearings in a Full-Scale Wind Turbine Test Bench
Recently, research has been carried out to detect faults in rolling element bearings as these bearings are the most critical component of a machine. However, there is a need to develop methods to detect the faults especially, in large machines to prevent a sudden break-down. Jesper Berntsen PhD project is dedicated to use vibration data for detecting faults in the bearings. The research project is carried out in collaboration with Lindø Off-shore Renewables Center (LORC). The project was funded by Innovation fund.
Methodology for determination of vibration damping of an offshore wind turbine supporting structure
Currently, extensive research has been carried out to monitor the dynamic properties of operating full-scale offshore wind turbines. However, there is a need to develop methods to identify the damp-ing of the offshore wind turbines using operational modal analysis. The research project is carried out in collaboration with Vattenfall Vindkraft A/S, a producer of wind energy. The project was funded by Innovation fund.
The aim is to progress implementation and innovation results created in the ECOPRODIGI project further with the purpose of achieving stretch targets for eco-efficiency set within the ECOPRODIGI project.
Ecoprodigi
The ECOPRODIGI (Eco-efficiency, Process & Digitalisation of the Maritime Industry) project aims at bringing eco-efficient processes and digital solutions to the Baltic Sea Maritime industry
SDU Mech is involved in one work package regarding Digital Ship Operations, Performance Monitoring and Eco-efficiency – with a special focus on smaller ferries
The project is funded by EU Baltic Sea Interreg.
Project period: October 2017 to December 2020. Please refer to the project’s website: https://ecoprodigi.eu/
ShippingLab
ShippingLab is a non-profit innovation and project partnership in Blue Denmark – a national research and innovation platform for digital and sustainable shipping in Denmark
SDU Mech is involved in WP 1: WP1 Digital Ship operations
The project focuses on vessel modelling and developing more precise ship models and better estimation of the effects that the environment has on vessel and system performance. WP1 will deliver tools and methodology for digital twinning of vessel in the seaway, using high frequency data.
The SDU Mech work more specifically: Vessel operation and diagnostics engine for performance analysis. A close feedback loop to vessel crews, raising the bar for decision support, providing higher order conclusions and decision support for actions.
Partners in project: Vessel Performance Solution, DTU, FORCE, Lauritzen, Torm, MAN Diesel & Turbo, Logimatic, AAU, SIMAC
The project is funded by The Innovation Fund Denmark and the private funds: Lauritzen Fonden, Orients Fond, Den Danske Maritime Fond.
Project period: 2019 to 2022.
