点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
