University of Strathclyde
Project Co-ordinator; Leader WPs 1, 3, 5, 6 & 8
The Wind Energy and Control group at University of Strathclyde conducts research on most aspects of wind energy with particular strengths in wind turbine and farm control, grid-integration, offshore power networks, wind turbine condition monitoring, asset management, floating and fixed support structures and wind turbine design. UOS lead the X-ROTOR project.
Delft University of Technology
Leader WP2
TU Delft’s Wind Energy Section consists around 50 researchers making it one of the largest dedicated wind energy research groups worldwide. TU Delft are responsible for the design and aeroelastic loading assessment of the X-ROTOR through modelling, simulation and wind tunnel testing of a scale model. TU Delft will also model potential noise emissions and propagation and conduct a final feasible design.
University College Cork
Leader WP7, WP9
MaREI based in UCC is Ireland’s National Marine and Renewable Energy research Centre. The UCC team will lead WP7, taking a multidisciplinary approach to assessing the social, economic and environmental impact of the X-ROTOR concepts and exploring potential options for mitigation. Additionally, UCC lead WP9 on communication & dissemination.
Norwegian University of
Science and Technology
Leader WP4
NTNU has long-standing experience in designing coastal and offshore structures, and research on related areas. Their main role in X-ROTOR is related to the design of the mechanical structure, as well as development of load simulations models of the wind turbine system.
Fundacion Cener
Fundacion Cener, the Spanish National Renewable Energy centre, are principally concerned with design issues within XROTOR, including e.g., aerodynamics (aerofoil level, wind turbine level), wind turbine stability, offshore (tests, mooring, platform design), farm control & wind turbine life extension.
