Carbo4Power open day workshop at Homerton College powers up offshore turbines

The Carbo4Power project’s second Exploitation and Dissemination Open Day Workshop is set to take place at Homerton College on 10 October.

Carbo4Power’s goal is to develop a new generation of lightweight, high-strength, digitalised multi-materials for offshore turbine rotor blades with intelligent architectures of hybrid, nano-enabled, multi-materials via advanced manufacturing.

“The workshop is an opportunity to learn about recent advances in development of lightweight, multifunctional and digitalised materials for wind and tidal turbines that would increase operational performance and durability while reducing cost of the energy production, maintenance and environmental impact,” said Dr Bojan Boskovic, director at Cambridge Nanomaterials Technology and one of the workshop organisers.

The event - the second Carbo4Power Open Day Workshop in Cambridge - will provide an opportunity to meet the Carbo4Power partners, learn about activities and the results of this project, from the project partners presentations and exhibitions onsite and on the EXPO website.

Already registered participating organisations include Airbus, Avanzare, EPSRC Industrial CDT in Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE), FastBlade, EURECAT, Lucideon, TWI, CIDETEC, Fraunhofer IFAM, University of Birmingham, TMBK Partners, Graphenea, Nanografi Nano Technology, University of Leeds, Tecnalia, Leitat, IRES, INEGI, Sigmatex, University of Strathclyde, and NOVITOM.
