To make the extent of analysis- and testing equipment for different purposes more manageable and to shed light on what equipment is most suitable in a certain case, it is planned to demonstrate part of this equipment in practice. This is a broad range of equipment including everything from the common laboratory equipment to the new, advanced test facilities MAX IV and ESS in Lund and European XFEL in Hamburg.<\/p>\n
Under this theme, in a corporation with LINX, it is possible to carry out characterizations of the participating companies own components on existing equipment of varying complexity.<\/p>\n
Approved project proposal<\/u><\/p>\n
Method for accelerated lifetime determination and validation of composite components for the wind industry in different corrosion environments. The proposal has been made by Siemens Gamesa R.V. A\/S.<\/p>\n
The project will try to find a connection between accelerated corrosion test, which is often used in the industry, and the actual service life of a product.<\/p>\n
The goal of the project:<\/p>\n
To find a method through accelerated tests, which can generate and simulate the corrosion impacts that are expected to be present in or outside a component through e.g. 25 years.<\/p>\n
The method must form the basis of validation on component level, thereby setting the standard for how the industry tests the suitability of components for use under various influences.<\/p>\n
The project was started as a windmill project only, but the results will be useful in the entire industry that uses and develops products, where service life is a significant parameter for the product.<\/p>\n
Besides DMN, as project leader, the following partners are involved in the project: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy A\/S, KK Wind Solution A\/S, Terma A\/S, Hydra Grene A\/S og PolyTech A\/S. This circle furthermore consists of FORCE Technology and LINX as knowledge partners.<\/p>\n
