"Offshore wind in Europe is expected to produce up to 11% of EU's electricity by 2030, BUT due to days lost in maintenance this total is unlikely to be achieved \[Wind Europe Unleashing Europe's offshore wind potential, June 2017\]. In particular, turbine blades are subject to heavy leading edge erosion, reducing efficiency and necessitating rapid repair.Blade repair is expensive, dangerous and limited by a shortage of trained blade technicians ([http://bit.ly/altitec\_2016)][0]. Epoxy repairs also require exact environmental conditions (cured at \>12°C and humidity <75%) which are difficult to achieve on-site. There is a pressing need to return inefficient turbine blades to optimum condition and for a safe and environmentally controlled 'habitat' allowing 24/7 repair work even in otherwise prohibitive conditions and by a lower skilled workforce, but technology has so far not met this need.GEV wish to carry out this 11 month project to develop and test a functioning prototype to demonstrate the efficacy of our new concept - the Ventura-OS. The Ventura-OS is a new style of platform and enclosed pod which will allow improved QA repair work offshore, increasing annual energy production (AEP) of between 1.5 and 2% through Leading Edge Erosion efficiencies. Additionally Ventura-OS offers better maintenance scheduling; risk reduction; 'fixed price' servicing agreements; OEM warranties; 24hr operation in wider weather conditions; less down time, lower manpower overheads (insurance, training); boosting OEMs delivering a warranty regimen and Owner/Operators wishing to maximize their RoI.[0]: http://bit.ly/altitec_2016)"

到2030年，欧洲的海上风电预计将占欧盟电力的11%，但由于维护时间的损失，这一总数不太可能实现[Wind Europe Unleashing Europe's Offshore Wind Potential，2017年6月]。特别是，涡轮机叶片会受到严重的前缘侵蚀，从而降低效率并需要快速维修。叶片维修昂贵、危险，并且受到训练有素的叶片技术人员短缺的限制（[http：//bit.ly/altitec\_2016）][0]。环氧树脂修复还需要精确的环境条件（固化温度>12°C，湿度<75%），这在现场很难实现。迫切需要使低效的涡轮机叶片恢复到最佳状态，并且需要一种安全且环境受控的“栖息地”，即使在其他禁止的条件下也允许24/7的维修工作，并且需要较低技能的劳动力，但技术还不能满足这一需求。GEV希望进行这个为期11个月的项目，开发和测试一个功能原型，以证明我们的新概念的有效性-Ventura-OS是一种新型的平台和封闭式吊舱，其将允许改进海上QA维修工作，通过前沿侵蚀效率将年能量生产（AEP）增加1.5%至2%。此外，Ventura-OS提供更好的维护计划;降低风险;“固定价格”服务协议; OEM保修;在更广泛的天气条件下24小时运行;更少的停机时间，更低的人力成本（保险，培训）;促进OEM提供保修方案和业主/运营商希望最大限度地提高他们的ROI。[0]：http：//bit.ly/altitec_2016）”
