#𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀: 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗘𝗔-𝗥𝗶𝗪𝗮 Last week was the kick-off meeting of the WEA-RiWa project with our project partners at the Center for Wind Power Drives (CWD) of the RWTH Aachen University.    The project partners are developing a validated, model-based calculation method for the prediction of the ring creep of main bearings and planet carrier bearings in wind turbines - WEA-RiWa. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).    More info about the #research project 👉 https://lnkd.in/gRcEZ6kU   #windenergy #WeKnowHow    Project partners: Fraunhofer IWES, CWD RWTH Aachen University (project coordination), Vestas Nacelles Deutschland Associated project partners: thyssenkrupp rothe erde, SKF Group, Schaeffler, ZF Group, Flender - Winergy Funding: Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz    Photo: © Fraunhofer IWES

However, the torque of large-scale bearings can be difficult to predict due to quality fluctuations in the production of these large-scale components. Learn more in this paper about how to employ machine learning approaches to predict the torque of a given set of bearings in a controlled test environment based on measurement data from that same set of bearings.    To the paper 👉 https://lnkd.in/eV4AyQDY   #windenergy

For statistical significance, this method combines hindcast weather time series of many years with the weather restrictions associated with #offshore activities. The method is incorporated into the software tool COAST, where a project plan schedule is simulated by placing activities according to their operational limits, constraints and relationships, and minimum-required time for each operation. This method is applicable for the risk assessment during the installation of offshore wind turbines. #windenergy #WeKnowHow #research EERA JP Wind Oceanology International © Fraunhofer IWES

The development of #offshore wind farms plays a key role in the transition to #renewable energy sources. This requires reliable ground models, which are currently only available to a limited extent. The correct integration and correlation of geotechnical and geophysical data is a key factor in the creation of reliable ground models. This study investigates different prediction methods, while presenting a modelling framework which incorporates geological, geotechnical, and geophysical information to derive synthetic Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) profiles using offshore wind farm site investigation data from the German North Sea. Seismic attributes are used as auxiliary information to improve CPT parameter prediction. The results indicate a reduction of prediction uncertainty when implementing seismic attributes.
