Engineered Textile Blade with Actively Controlled surface/profile

该项目寻求在模拟环境中开发、测试和验证创新的ACTBlade的原型。它是在一个早期的催化剂项目的基础上进行的，该项目成功地验证了风力发电的潜在能源生产收益(+9.7%)，以及与创新的叶片设计相关的水平能源成本的降低(-8.7%)。SMAR Azure拥有全部知识产权；一项关于ACT叶片的设计和建造方法的专利申请(申请号1518041.7)已经提交。项目团队SMAR Azure(SA)、ORE Catapult(CA)和格拉斯哥大学(UG)拥有成功交付该项目的技术技能、工程/实验工具、商业专业知识和管理经验。

This project seeks to develop, test and verify in simulated environments a prototype of the innovative ACTBlade. It follows on from an Early Stage Catalyst project that successfully validated the potential energyproduction gains (+9.7%) in wind power generation and the reduction in the levelised cost of energy (-8.7%)associated with the innovative blade design.SMAR Azure owns the full intellectual property; a patent application has been filed (Application No. 1518041.7)covering the design and construction method of the ACT Blade. A further patent will be filed to cover the activeshape control system before completion of the project.The project team, SMAR Azure (SA), ORE Catapult (CA) and University of Glasgow (UG), has the technical skills,engineering/experimental tools, commercial expertise and management experience to successfully deliver theproject.
