Wind Energy is a department of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). With a staff of over 240 employees, the department is world leading both in size and international impact within wind energy research.
Of particular relevance to the INDUFLAP2 project is that DTU has been involved in the SMART blade (morphing trailing edge) technology since 2003. Several research projects have been conducted since that time and a number of Msc. and PhD students have been educated within the smart blade research field. In 2006 the development and research work on the particular CRTEF technology (Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Technology), comprising a morphing trailing edge in a flexible polymer material where the activation is done by pressurizing the voids, was initiated based on GAP funding provided by the local community Region Zealand in Denmark. In 2011 the development work was continued within the INDUFLAP project funded by EUDP and the present project is closely linked to that project and comprising the stage where the technology will be demonstrated on a full scale turbine.
