CleanWinTur
Project: CleanWinTur
Timescale: 2018 – 2021
Funder: Innovate UK
Aim:
The project aims to research practical solutions to minimise the impacts of biofouling on offshore wind turbines (OWT).
CleanWinTur will develop an ultrasonic system that performs continuous condition monitoring and effective anti-fouling, thereby enabling the implementation of predictive and or condition-based maintenance and reduce OPEX.
Partners:
- European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC)
- NDT Consultants
- Brunel University London
- Reece Innovation
- InnoTecUK
- 3-Sci
- E.ON
EMEC role:
The ultrasonic system will be trialled at EMEC.
