The wind environment has a major influence on the viability of any wind energy project in terms energy output and turbine wear. Numerous factors such as wind speed and direction; turbulence, shear, veer, inflow angle and atmospheric stability can have significant impacts on a wind turbine’s performance. Accurate prediction of pre-construction yield with the real-world […]

On Thursday the 16th June, companies from a wide variety of sectors attended the Enterprise Ireland Technology Forum – Where industry and Innovators connect’ at Croke Park Dublin.   The event was a join enterprise between Enterprise Ireland’s Technology Gateway Network and Technology Centres. The theme was sustainability and aimed at companies who were thinking about developing,

Background With the popularity of the Internet, cybersecurity incidents are becoming more and more frequent. And one of those attacks that everyone may encounter is phishing (Dhamija, R., 2006). Phishing can reach victims via different attack approaches, such as text messages and emails. Victims are then directed to malicious websites, which hijack the devices through

Are you ready to take those first steps with innovation, or perhaps you need some assistance with RD&I in an existing project, process or service? Reaching out to those who can help is the first step. Do you know Enterprise Ireland have a network of Technology Gateways spread throughout the country? For companies in the

Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Cluster, EMD Ireland, provides a roadmap for companies wishing to access innovation support within Engineering, Materials and Design. Consisting of seven Technology Gateways, the Cluster brings together a range of expertise, facilities, equipment and support for companies who are looking to access Research, Development and Innovation knowledge in areas such as

The move to a more sustainable future can provide many opportunities for companies in the area of Research, Development and Innovation. As Irish companies, of all sizes, strive towards a low carbon future, many are thinking about developing, and investing in sustainable products, processes or services. For some this may mean adapting their business strategy,

What is Design Strategy? Design strategy is a process developed by the Design+ Strategy team, to support companies who are looking at creating new offerings, entering new markets, or are just looking at new ways of doing things. Through the application of the Design+ Strategy innovation process, the business owner is put at the very

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the process of mathematically modelling a physical phenomenon involving fluid flow and solving it numerically using specialist powerful simulation software. CFD allows engineers to gain comprehensive knowledge about the flow field and enable them to develop better products at reduced costs with less physical prototyping. With CFD, advanced physics models

A high-performing manufacturing facility will have a well-defined quality management system which includes incoming material inspection control. The controlling factor in all polymer conversion processes is the material’s rheological behaviour. The rheological behaviour of a polymer melt is highly sensitive to material structure. Rheological measurements can detect even the most discrete changes in structural properties
