NRDI COMOTI'S wind turbine technology know-how transfer - IOPscience
Knowledge transfer is a term used to describe a large number of activities that support joint undertakings between research institutes and private companies. Knowledge and technology transfer can be defined as the movement of knowledge and technology from an organization to another. The following paper will present NRDICOMOTI's procedure for knowledge transfer towards an industrial partner in the field of wind turbines. The partner is going to use the new knowledge to develop a competitive product. The procedure is structured in multiple stages, including the theoretical approach to early design in wind turbines, numerical analysis to determine the performances, the standards in issuing technical documentation, the FEM analysis to determine the values of stress and vibration, and finally, the manufacturing process. In the early design stage, conventional equations will be used to estimate the output power of the wind turbine. For the numerical analysis, CFD methods will be used to evaluate the performances. For technical documentation, this paper will present the various pieces of software used by COMOTI in the process of developing and manufacturing of wind turbines. The article will be concluded by a step by step manufacturing technology development process.
