The European project DURABLE aims to accelerate the deployment of renewable energies in the Atlantic region (Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom), through the application of drones and robots for the operation and maintenance of wind and solar energy systems. The application of this technology will allow automating inspection and repair tasks, reducing costs and favoring the production of clean energy.
The project has a budget of €3.9 million and is financed by the Interreg Atlantic Area Program through the European Regional Development Fund.
DURABLE is led by the Ecole Supérieure des Technologies Industrielles Avancées and has 12 partners from 5 European countries, including three Andalusian partners: the University of Seville, Corporación Tecnológica de Andalucía (CTA) and the Advanced Center for Aerospace Technologies (CATEC).
Under the acronym DURABLE, the full name of the project is ‘Drones and maintenance robots for the promotion of renewable energies in the Atlantic area’.
