The Azimut project comes to its end
| | | | | |

Publicado el 7 de Marzo de 2014

The AZIMUT project, which aims to enable the development of world’s largest capacity wind turbine by 2020, has ended successfully their applied research activities undertaken during the last 4 years. The project has reached the objective of generating knowledge and key technologies that will enable the development of a turbine with unit capacity of 15 MW. This turbine will be capable of overcoming the technical and financial hurdles currently limiting the rollout of offshore wind energy, such as availability and cost of energy.

The initiative joins together 11 companies, coordinated by Gamesa, which are Acciona, Windpower, Alstom Wind, Acciona Energía, Iberdrola Renovables, Ingeteam, Imatia, Ingeciber, DIgSILENT Ibérica, Técnicas Reunidas, and Tecnitest.

DIgSILENT Ibérica has released its DIgSILENT GridCode v2.2 in the frame of the AZIMUT project, incorporating new features and enhancements related to the analysis of compliance with grid code requirements of conventional and renewable power plants, specifically related to offshore wind farms. Sophisticated algorithms have been incorporated like the Prony analysis for oscillation mode detection and ultimate model validation methods.

Moreover, a new application has been designed and developed: The DIgSILENT Web App for Grid Code Tracking. The grid code information, country by country, has been loaded in a database, accessible through a web application. Special functions have been defined to store specific requirements for offshore. Registered customers may access it through the DIgSILENT Ibérica website (DIgSILENT Web App For Grid Code Tracking).
