X-Rotor project

X-ROTOR is a #H2020 project working to develop a radical new offshore wind turbine concept with the potential to significantly reduce the cost of wind power generation. The project is led by @UniStrathclyde with partners from @NTNUnorway @tudelft @ucc @GErenewables @CENER_Energia

Standing room only for the presentation of Luis Recalde on the @UniStrathclyde X-Rotor concept. #torque2024 #bigcrowdforday4 @XRotorProject

The X-ROTOR project outputs can be readily accessed through our Zenodo page. Read our reports and publications at zenodo.org/communities/x-…

The X-ROTOR #H2020 project was covered by a recent article in @HorizonMagEU, with contributions from Prof Bill Leithead and Dr James Carroll @UniStrathclyde @StrathEng @HorizonEU

Prof Bill Leithead @UniStrathclyde kicks off proceedings for the X-ROTOR #H2020 project final event at @WindEurope Expo in Bilbao.

Attending #WindEurope in #Bilbao? Join us Weds 20-Mar to learn more about X-ROTOR, a radical offshore wind turbine concept.

In the presence of Commissioner @KadriSimson, 24 EU Ministers of Energy and many leading #WindIndustry stakeholders signed up to a European Wind Charter today. It is 1 of the 15 actions of the #WindPowerPackage Action Plan, presented in October. europa.eu/!7yvJwN

Today's researcher spotlight is on Adhyanth Giri Ajay from @tudelft Adhyanth is a PhD candidate in the wind energy section of the Faculty of Aerospace; his research focuses on computational aerodynamics and aeroelastics of vertical-axis wind turbines. #TUDelft #H2020

Today's researcher spotlight is on Manon Clairbaux from @UCC Manon is working with @GannetGuy and the wider UCC team to understand the environmental implications of the X-ROTOR design.

Today's spotlight is on David Bensason from @tudelft David is a PhD candidate in the wind energy section of the Faculty of Aerospace #TUDelft #H2020

X-ROTOR #H2020 project participants convened in Barcelona this week for a general assembly hosted by partner @GErenewables. We discussed work to date and planing further steps across the different work packages. The meeting was a very productive and very enjoyable gathering.

Today's spotlight is on Jack Williamson from @Strath_FAI @UniStrathclyde Jack works with @gjallan9 examining systemwide impact of X-Rotor, including on job creation.

Really good engagement at the recent X-ROTOR public dialogue session held in the Ionad Pobail Chionn Mhálanna, Co. Donegal, Ireland.

Today's spotlight is on Peter Deeney from @ucc_cppu research group at the @eriucc Peter is part of the @UCC multidisciplinary team exploring the social, economic and environmental dimensions of the X-ROTOR turbine design.
