Cyber-physical systems for improving efficiency in the energy industry
The fourth Industrial Revolution driven by the incorporation of digital technology in manufacturing systems, equipment and environments has blurred the boundaries between physical and digital spaces and networked the production process and value chain.
The initiative has received state and European finance within the RETOS-collaboration programme 2016, in the framework of the R3 field: “Safe, efficient and clean energy”.
The program seeks to develop a new generation of cyber-physical systems with applications in the field of large component manufacturers for the wind energy generation sector, which will allow it to improve its efficiency and reduce costs.
To achieve this, the research centre is developing a damper for increasing the cutting capacity of the machines, whose brain will be a high-performance real-time controller. This damper will allow the various problems that can appear during the machining processes to be eliminated, such as chatter, thanks to its capacity for monitoring all the process phases and the state of the machine in the cloud.
In this way, a continuous diagnostic can be carried out of the surface quality of the workpiece that is being machined, in addition to a statistical analysis of the entire machining process. This diagnostic will provide great added value to the energy sector field thanks to the reduction of costs associated with the manufacturing process, which up to now has offered design solutions with a high cost, as well as the possibility of using this application in local machine tools.
