AIRE Project will be at Torque 2026 next week in Bruges

On June 3-5, the project will contribute 8 presentations, including keynote, oral and poster sessions.

At AIRE, we’re designing wind turbine airfoils built for harsh conditions 🌬️

Partners IWES, @DTUtweet & @CENER_Energia used different methods to optimize performance under erosion, sand & rain—now heading to wind tunnel & rain erosion tests.

Over 1,100 datasets from 27 organisations, searchable by topic, terrain, organisation and physical variables. This is WindLab:

[AIRE Project @ProjectAIRE]

For the past few years, we have been working on wind energy research alongside MERIDIONAL and @Flow_projectEU. Last year, we launched the result of our efforts.

A tool we hope will make a difference for anyone working on wind energy.

How does real-world blade roughness actually affect wind turbine performance? @DTUtweet researchers have published new findings using high-resolution 3D simulations of scanned leading edge damage.

Read the full post about these findings.

Have you heard of the wake effect?

In the EU’s race to net-zero, wind farms often face a challenge where upstream turbines reduce the wind velocity reaching those downstream, reducing overall energy output.

Here we are at WindEurope, enjoying a full day of sessions, including ours! Our joint event with FLOW and MERIDIONAL is now underway at N115+N116. We are sharing the results and progress of all 3 projects, with a dedicated session on WindLab. We'd love to see you!

What came out of the latest @ProjectAIRE General Assembly in Oldenburg?

Our new blog offers a brief recap:

[AIRE Project @ProjectAIRE]

Field campaign completed in Gran Canaria 🔬. As part of the @ProjectAIRE, researchers carried out a blade inspection campaign on the @SiemensGamesa 5MW wind turbine located at the Port of Arinaga. Read our new blog for more: https://t.co/8rzid94WjT

[AIRE Project @ProjectAIRE]

In a wind farm, turbines interact through the air around them. The flow behind a turbine slows down and becomes turbulent, reducing energy for downstream turbines. This effect is called a wake. Understanding wakes is key to predicting performance and optimizing layouts.

WP3 complete. Outputs: WRF sensitivity improves mesoscale wind/precip inputs; farm-level wake impacts of conditions + blade erosion; erosion modelling validated with rain tests and inspections; ML Airfoil Performance Model; full-rotor CFD on rain intensity and loads.
