What is the Improved reliability and optimised operations and maintenance for wind energy systems Call?
Expected Outcomes
Scope Requirements
1. Develop and validate solutions to increase the reliability of wind energy systems and their components, ensuring security of supply and reducing environmental impacts.
2. Develop new computational methods, analytical techniques and tools to analyse and predict system reliability, including failure mode analysis and use of novel materials and technologies.
3. Develop new methods and tools for condition and health monitoring of wind energy systems and components.
4. Develop and validate solutions to optimise operation and maintenance (e.g., improved scheduling, predictive maintenance, autonomous tools, robots, vehicles, semi-automated inspection, advanced repair methods).
5. Develop and validate new components to enhance on-site safety and efficiency during maintenance activities.
6. Develop and validate innovative digital tools for wind farm operation and maintenance (interoperability, decision support, monitoring techniques, innovative sensors) with enhanced cybersecurity and data sharing.
Additional scope requirements:
• Provide solid evidence supporting the choice of critical sub-systems and components (e.g., floating offshore wind dynamic cables, moorings, connection systems and their interaction with ocean flows).
• Ensure that generated data comply with FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable).
• Emphasise digitalisation for predictive maintenance, advanced sensor technologies, structural health assessment and monitoring.
• Aim to reduce downtime and operational costs, enhance safety protocols for maintenance crews, and increase overall lifespan and efficiency of assets.
• Design solutions to be easily standardised or compatible with existing standardisation efforts, irrespective of envisaged TRL.
