REVOLUTION_WIND | REVOLUTIONising WIND blade life-cycle through circular design and Condition-Based Monitoring using multifunctional self-sensing 3D printed bonded structures and a multi-modal machine learning approach

Summary
The challenge of climate change poses a significant threat to humanity. It is essential to prioritise renewable and cost-effective energy sources while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions for the benefit of future generations. One of the primary solutions lies in the new generation of larger, segmented and more efficient wind blades.
The REVOLUTION_WIND project aims to enhance the circularity and damage tolerance of the new generation of larger and segmented wind blades by embedding a multifunctional self-sensing 3D printed structure within a reversible adhesive layer. The project will use a combination of supervised machine learning and experimental characterisation to devise a multi-modal monitoring system that can accurately predict the remaining useful life of the reversible adhesively bonded joints. The most cutting-edge outcome of REVOLUTION_WIND is a multifunctional 3D printed self-sensing structure that will work as an embedded reinforcement and generate input data for a machine learning framework for in-situ life assessment of the structural integrity of reversible adhesively bonded joints.
Finally, the successful implementation of REVOLUTION_WIND will contribute to achieving the European Green Deal's objective of establishing wind power as Europe's primary energy source while promoting a circular economy.
