Impact Acceleration Account - University of Strathclyde 2017 / R170483-121: McMillan, David (Principal Investigator); Period 01-Apr-2017 - 31-Mar-2020
Impact Acceleration Account - University of Strathclyde 2017 / R170483-122: McMillan, David (Principal Investigator); Period 01-Apr-2017 - 31-Mar-2020
Wind-01: Wind Turbine Fatigue Life Assessment and Modelling: Validation and Implementation: Ferguson, David (Researcher) McMillan, David (Principal Investigator) McDonald, Alasdair (Co-investigator) Leithead, William (Co-investigator) Kazacoks, Romans (Researcher) Kazemi Amiri, Abbas (Researcher); Aim of the project was to carry out a fatigue life assessment of a wind turbine. Dr Ferguson was involved in the instrumentation of the wind turbine. This involved the installation of strain gauges at the tower base as well as an triaxial accelerometer at the top of the tower.; Period 01-Jun-2016 - 17-Aug-2018
Enhanced Wind Turbine Parts Service-Feasibility Study: Ferguson, David (Researcher) McMillan, David (Principal Investigator); IAA funded project working in collaboration with Renewable Parts Ltd. The aim of the project was to identify components that the company could consider for refurbishment/re-manufacture. The project involved the analysis of a large volume of wind farm component consumption data and applying metrics that would allow decisions to me made on which components were suitable for re-manufacture.; Period 06-Feb-2017 - 26-May-2017
ISUFSAA Intelligent Search for Unstructured Field Service data using novel heuristics to enable Advanced Analytics: McMillan, David (Principal Investigator); Period 15-Nov-2017 - 31-Mar-2018
