4. Presentation and objectives:

The NEMMO project seeks to generate the necessary knowledge to implement a robust design and verification methodology to develop larger, more efficient and longer-lived advanced composite turbine blades for tidal power generation. The main expected results of the NEMMO project are:

  • New simulation tools for modeling the operation of turbine blades for tidal power generation, including the instantaneous definition of cavitation phenomena.
  • Fatigue behavior, hydrodynamic performance, aging, bio-fouling and cavitation wear models.
  • Novel test equipment and methodology for the evaluation of bio-fouling, aging, fatigue and cavitation erosion.
  • Active Flow Control system, biomimetic surfaces and nano-enhanced composites and coatings for high-performance tidal turbine blades.
  • Design methodologies to develop turbine blades made of advanced composite materials that improve hydrodynamic performance, durability and resistance to marine environments.
  • Manufacture of 1:1 scale blades in optimized composite materials according to the findings of the NEMMO project.
  • Full-scale testing for complete characterization and evaluation of the optimized design, including a first test of the tidal cycle in a full-scale offshore demonstrator.
