项目摘要

Adoption of robotics and autonomous systems by the offshore wind sector will be vital to achieving the renewables expansion needed for Net Zero.There are three compelling reasons why:1.To achieve our net zero targets, the UK's offshore wind capacity will need to increase more than sevenfold by 2050\. That means pushing operations into ever-deeper, more remote and more treacherous waters with narrower weather windows for safe human access.2.Robotics can take on the routine maintenance tasks (such as scouring the surfaces of thousands of blades for critical cracking and erosion (there are 30,000 currently at UK wind farms -- onshore and offshore) or checking the approximately 10 million bolts at these farms for loss of tension and integrity. Ultimately, this will mean better pre-emptive maintenance and control over these essential net-zero assets.3.Finally, with better pre-emptive maintenance, we can extend the lifetime of components and turbines at sea, helping the industry progress to a circular, zero-waste economyDe-risking these technologies for adoption by industry is the crucial next step.This project shows how technology developers can test and gain independent validation of their technologies at a proposed network of test and validation facilities, building on our Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine in Fife to our National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth (Northumberland) and Operations and Maintenance Centre of Excellence in Grimsby.

海上风电行业采用机器人技术和自主系统将对实现净零增长所需的可再生能源扩张至关重要。有三个令人信服的原因：1.为了实现净零增长目标，到2050年，英国的海上风电装机容量需要增加七倍以上。这意味着将作业推进到更深、更偏远、更危险的水域，天气窗口变窄，以便人类安全进入。2.机器人可以承担常规维护任务(例如，擦洗数千个叶片的表面以寻找关键的裂纹和侵蚀(目前英国陆上和海上风力发电场有30,000个)，或者检查这些农场的大约1,000万个螺栓是否失去张力和完整性。3.最后，通过更好的先发制人维护，我们可以延长部件和涡轮机的海上使用寿命，帮助行业向循环、零浪费经济发展。降低这些技术被行业采用的风险是关键的下一步。该项目展示了技术开发人员如何在建议的测试和验证设施网络中测试和获得独立验证他们的技术，基于我们位于法伊夫的莱文茅斯示范涡轮机和我们位于布莱斯(诺森伯兰)的国家可再生能源中心和位于格里姆斯比的运营和维护卓越中心。
