Research Fellow in Composite Repair

University of Leeds

Research Fellow in Composite Repair Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a background in composite welding, repairs, composite experimental assessment? Do you want to further your career in one of the UK's leading research intensive Universities?

The global wind energy sector has been growing rapidly over the past two decades. According to GWEC Market Intelligence, global cumulative installations of onshore and offshore wind will exceed 1TW before 2025.

Once wind turbines are installed, they are expected to run around 20-25 years, during which O&M (operation and maintenance) becomes crucial to maximise the economic and environmental benefits of wind assets. As turbines age, the cost of O&M is increasing significantly, which will make the O&M business very lucrative in the coming decade.

In this project, we will develop a robotic solution for inspection and repair of wind turbine blades (WTBs), both onshore and offshore. The inspection unit of Romain consists of lock-in shearography and thermography with laser heating, so that surface and subsurface defects within WTBs can be identified and quantified. (Current techniques including drone-based inspections are limited to surface defects only). The repair unit is able to perform various functions such as applying composite repair patch and heating and compaction curing and consolidation. A compact and efficient robotic deployment system will carry the inspection and repair units to climb along the WTBs to perform maintenance work. The whole system will be operated by engineers working on ground (for onshore wind farms) or on a vessel (for offshore wind farms), hence greatly reducing their risk exposure.
