OBJECTIVES
X-ROTOR will develop a highly innovative wind
turbine design to directly target cost of energy
reduction and scalability of wind turbines
The project aims to take X-ROTOR concept from its current technology readiness level of TRL 1 to TRL 3. In doing so, the goal is to determine the X-ROTOR’s economic, social and environmental impacts and confirm the potential for a levelised costs of energy (LCOE) reduction of 20-30%. In realising this overarching objective the project has three subsidiary objectives, namely:
01
To determine the performance of the X-Rotor concept by designing the mechanical structure, operational strategy, and carrying out a performance assessment
02
To design a power take-off and conversion system, which provides full freedom of choice of operating strategy cost, environmental and socio-economic impact aspects.
03
To estimate the reduction in levelised cost of energy (LCOE) including both the CAPEX and OPEX
