In order to reduce the costs of generating wind energy, it is necessary to considerably increase the size of the wind turbines. In the case of wind generators supported on floating platforms, this increase could jeopardise the structural integrity of the supporting structures such as the tower or the platform. The DURALINK project, coordinated [...]
Steel4Fatigue, coordinated by Eurecat technology centre, explores the introduction of new high-strength steel materials to the sector to reduce the weight of trucks and cars by approximately 10 percent. The results of the project will contribute to the consolidation of steel as a cost-effective and sustainable light solution for the future of mobility. The [...]
The European project H2FORM3G, coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre, is studying the effect of hydrogen in the manufacturing of third-generation advanced high-strength steel components for its implementation in the design of lightweight vehicles. It is well known that the use of high-strength steels allows for a weight reduction in vehicles by 10-20% due to [...]
The LIFE PRISTINE project was disseminated at the European Researchers’ Night, a public event dedicated to the dissemination of science, aiming to bring research, innovation and its protagonists closer to the public of all ages in a fun and flat way. Mar Micó, project partner from ACCIONA, held an interactive talk entitled “Discovering water [...]
