CIRCWIND will develop and validate innovative technologies for current and future wind turbines, enhancing reliability, lifetime, performance, operability and maintainability, while enabling cost-efficient pathways to full circularity at end of life. Key results include: a prototype Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) blade material with improved damage tolerance and fatigue life through multiscale modelling; a circular low-carbon concrete for offshore floating turbines based on a geopolymer binder and circular lightweight aggregates; advanced constitutive models, virtual replicas and monitoring tools to predict failure and lifetime.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Result to be enhanced<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The project focuses on enhancing key results in terms of performance, durability and sustainability of wind turbines. Damage tolerance and fatigue life of blades will be improved through optimized FRP materials supported by multiscale modelling. Predictive capabilities will be strengthened via advanced constitutive models, virtual replicas and monitoring systems, increasing accuracy in failure prediction and lifecycle management. Environmental performance and circularity will be enhanced through low-carbon concrete solutions based on geopolymer binders and circular lightweight aggregates, promoting more sustainable end-of-life management of turbine components.<\/p>\n

Why is it important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

CIRCWIND is at the forefront of renewable energy innovation, developing and validating advanced technologies for wind turbines (WT). The newly developed and validated innovative wind turbine technologies will have immediate and future applications, including enhanced reliability and lifetime, performance, operability and maintainability, as well as cost-efficient pathways towards complete circularity right as a growing number of existing wind turbines are approaching their end.<\/p>\n
