An EU-funded project led by Trinity College Dublin is set to focus on the applications of a wide range of green energy sources.
The Winter School, a €3.2m EU FP7-funded (the seventh EU framework programme for the funding of research and technological development in Europe) project will examine the application of signal processing, wireless sensor networking and system identification principles for the efficient and reliable operation of next-generation wind turbines.
Next-generation turbines
The Winter School aims to monitor the health of next-generation turbines as they grow larger in size and produce more power to ensure security of power supply.
Ten senior scientists from the field of wind energy (drawn from nine European countries) will be joined by more than 30 international researchers from both industry and academia for the event during the project this 15-19 November.
Lecturers appearing at the event are:
– Dr T Barszcz, director, Energo Control & AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland
