Projects in MRE
Hyperwind
The HYPERWIND project aims to develop a comprehensive monitoring system for offshore and onshore turbines. This sytem is composed of various subsystems: blade system monitoring, SHM on gearboxes, SHM shafting line … KEOPS is the project leader.
The goal is to provide operators of a wind plant a systemic and dynamic view of their facilities and the plant as a whole. The assumption here is such that the overall integration of complete system will refine the understanding of dysfunctions as soon as possible.
Hyperwind deliveries:
- Provide a hyper vision system for renewable power farms offshore and onshore.
- Provide a comprehensive and systemic monitoring system of all plants componenets associated with a global model to early take into account signals.
- Provide a reliable remote monitoring system and easy to interpret by end users.
- Develop a methodology of construction of models and indicators on various machines including other domains of the Marine Renewable Energies.
- Present a demonstrator on a wind turbine equipped and functional (onshore wind).
Partners of Hyperwind are: KEOPS Automation – project leader, Net-Wind, Airbus and Meteodyn, as well as the Research Centers ARMINES – Ecole des Mines de Nantes, the Pole mer Bretagne Atlantique.
