Imagine building a giant wind turbine but instead of guessing how to make the parts, you have a perfect digital twin to test everything first. It replaces old, gas-heavy furnaces with precise electric heating for gears and uses eco-friendly tapes for generators. This means parts last longer and are made much faster with less waste.
Wind turbine gearboxes and generators suffer from reliability issues and high production costs due to outdated, energy-intensive manufacturing and manual insulation processes.
A digital architecture featuring Digital Twins and Recommendation Systems, an electrified induction hardening process for gears, and an automated bio-based stator insulation system.
If you are a turbine manufacturer dealing with high operational costs and part failure — this project developed a digital architecture and electrified hardening process that increases component durability and reliability.
If you are a gear manufacturer dealing with expensive trial-and-error prototyping — this project developed simulation models and Digital Twins that reduce the reliance on empirical methods.
If you are an insulation company dealing with pollutant emissions and slow manual labor — this project developed a fully automated stator insulation process using bio-based tapes and low-VOC resins.
Based on available project data, the project aims to reduce manufacturing costs by decreasing process time, energy consumption, and material waste through digital simulation and automation.
Yes, the project intends to demonstrate its solutions in two industrial pilot lines to prove scalability and effectiveness.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project focuses on setting new standards for advanced production in the European supply chain.
Yes, it uses bio-based tapes and low-VOC resins to reduce pollutant emissions, contributing to the EU Green Deal.
The project period runs from 2026-06-01 to 2030-05-31, meaning full results will be available by mid-2030.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 79% industry ratio, comprising 11 industrial partners and 3 research entities across 6 countries. This high concentration of commercial players, including only 1 SME, suggests a strong focus on immediate industrial application and market integration rather than theoretical research.
