The below coatings are still in development, so come back to see how we are getting on.

Improve Wind Turbine Efficiency

Application via drone of a specialist cleaning coating to wind turbine blades to remove detritus and salt build up.  Improving power output & minimising downtime.

What agendas does this application meet?

It is known that detritus/ salt build-up has a detrimental effect on the efficiency of the wind turbines (estimate at approximately 50k Euros per turbine per annum in lost revenue). Application via drone of a specialist cleaning coating to wind turbine blades to remove detritus and salt build up can improve the power output & minimise downtime therefore improving the efficiency.

Like many of the sectors we target, access is an issue. We will enhance our surface tracking and proximity flight technology enabling us to safely navigate around wind turbines. This will be more effective than traditional methods such as rope access which is slow, dangerous and impractical in many situations and giving us the edge over existing drone technology which is currently unsuitable.

Improve Efficiency of the Blades by Approximately 2-5%
