<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is a financial instrument of the European Union aimed at supporting economic and social cohesion in Europe’s regions. It provides funding for projects that promote innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainable development, with a focus on reducing disparities between regions. The ERDF has been instrumental in supporting the development of infrastructure, research and development, and small and medium-sized enterprises across Europe. In this context, Nordex Energy Spain has received grants. Please find more information below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PALEOS<\/strong>
The PalEoS project, which stands for “Soluciones tecnol\u00f3gicas end-to-end para palas e\u00f3licas m\u00e1s sostenibles” (meaning “Advanced technological solutions for the design and manufacture of wind turbine blades”), is a joint effort between two companies of the Nordex Group (Nordex Energy Spain and Nordex Blades) and CENER. The goal is to investigate advanced technological solutions for the design and manufacture of wind turbine blades. The project aims to investigate advanced technological solutions for the design and manufacture of wind turbine blades, with a sustainability-based approach to maximize lifetime performance, taking into account factors such as operating conditions in the design and increasing the durability of the blade, while ensuring the minimization and mitigation of defects arising from the manufacturing process, thanks to a deeper understanding of defectology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Support from the Consultancy Firm Sisteplant
<\/strong>Nordex Energy Spain enlisted the external support of the consultancy firm Sisteplant, specialising in optimising productivity and logistics and organisational processes through advanced manufacturing technologies (production and logistics automation), advanced organisational models (Lean Manufacturing) and smart plant systems (Machine Learning, MES, CMMS). The project was carried out in 2020 and submitted to the Navarre Government call for applications for grants promoting specialised support. The grants include a subsidy for projects to improve productivity aimed at a clear, immediate and sustainable increase in the competitiveness of companies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

LUPDEFECT<\/strong>
The Nordex Group is active in the project called LUPDEFECT. This project was funded with Navarre Government research and development grants for 2020. The general objective of the project is to investigate in a new advanced methodology for the analysis, characterization and effective treatment of lamination defects (Lay-UP DEFECT) in the manufacture of wind blades in order to ensure their structural integrity and maximise their service life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

BLADErepair<\/strong>
Nordex Energy Spain participates in the BLADErepair project, in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Center (CENER Foundation), presented in the 2022 call of the Government of Navarra in the Industrial Research Knowledge Transfer modality. The main objective of this project is to develop advanced repair procedures as a competitive solution to the technical limitations of the wind turbine blade manufacturing process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SEnDA<\/strong>
The Nordex Group participates in the project SEnDA (Developemnt of Smart Technologies for High RiseWind Systems). The general objective of the project is to respond to the challenges encountered by the windindustry in the development of the new generation of wind turbines with an unprecedented capacity (from 5MW) and unprecedented height (up to 200 meters), through the development of new intelligent control and monitoring technologies, and their validation in a real prototype.
This project, funded by the Government of Navarra\u2019s 2023 call for strategic R&D projects, is in collaboration with the company Nabrawind and the National Renewable Energy Centre (CENER).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
