TURBO Towards tURbine Blade production with zero waste

Coordinator: DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET (DK)

>10000 wind turbine blades (WTBs) were installed in Europe in 2019, and the largest are >100 m long. Yet the manufacturing methods have not changed significantly since the 1970s, with little or no NDT or in-line control, leading to high defect, repair and scrap rates. TURB0 will reduce defects and improve repair strategies in WTB composites and coatings.-Improved composite production processes: By using the latest simulation techniques to avoid defect formation and understand how defects affect structural integrity.-In-line NDT: Combining three cutting-edge NDT technologies (dielectric, wirel…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €6.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4 years from 2022-10-01 to 2026-09-30.
