X-Multirotor DfM

In the X-Energy sub-project Multirotor DfM (Design for Maintenance), the research focus is on the maintenance-friendly design of a multirotor wind turbine for offshore use.

Multirotor DfM builds on the findings of the X-Energy sub-project X-Multirotor.

The aim is to be able to better estimate operating costs and develop further technical solutions to minimize operating costs.  Multirotor DfM is divided into three areas: analysis, design and optimization:

Analysis

  • In the analysis, tools are developed or existing tools are expanded so that an assessment of the ease of maintenance is possible. Technical system availability and maintenance costs are used as relevant key figures. These are then integrated into the calculation of the electricity generation costs as a superordinate and decisive key figure.

Design

  • Design concepts and service strategies for the optimal operation of multirotors are developed in the design phase.

Optimization

  • With the help of the previously developed tools, design concepts and service strategies, the multirotor concept with the lowest electricity generation costs is calculated in the final optimization.
