Current and completed WIND research projects at Wölfel
WILLOW
The WILLOW project focuses on the development of digital tools to manage offshore wind farms more efficiently and extend their service life.
MMRB-Repair-Care
MMRB-Repair-Care develops innovative SHM methods to structurally assess the effects of repair measures on rotor blades and to precisely monitor their condition throughout their entire service life.
NOAD
The NOAD project is developing an agile design approach for data-driven assessment of offshore foundation structures, enabling continued operation or repowering instead of decommissioning.
ModulBlitz
In the joint research project ModulBlitz, new methods are being developed to detect, localise and assess lightning damage to wind turbine blades at an early stage.
SMARTower
The overall SMARTower project aims to analyze and assess the load-bearing behavior of tower and foundation structures of wind turbines under static and dynamic loads through large-scale experimental investigations and real-world measurements.
Add2Reliablade
The Add2reliablade project is investigating the development of fatigue damage in wind turbine rotor blades in order to improve the prediction of damage progression and remaining service life.
TOP-VIMS
The joint project TOP-VIMS aimed to develop a consistent, model-based method for predicting and reducing tonal noise emissions of wind turbines.
Grout-WATCH
The Grout-WATCH project developed innovative methods for monitoring and predicting the service life of grout connections in offshore wind turbines in order to increase their safety and efficiency.
