LEX

About

Jr. nr. 64013-0115
​The LEX project is a 3-year demonstration project started in July 2013 with a total budget of €4m whereof €2m are supported by the EUDP-programme. The aim of the project is to develop and demonstrate cost effective solutions for mitigating leading edge damages on blades for both existing and future wind turbines.​ ​The LEX project is supported by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), which is administered by the Danish Energy Agency.

X-Stiffener™

The X-Stiffener™ prevents longitudinal cracks on the leading edge of the blades. Longitudinal cracks on the leading edge are very often found after only a few years of operation. The X-Stiffener™ connects the two sides of the blades like a cross in a bookshelf. Experimental and theoretical modelling has proven that the X-Stiffener™ significantly reduces the twisting and hence the peeling stresses are reduced to non-critical levels.​

CORTIR - (Cost and Risk Tool for Interim and preventive Repair)
The project aims to cope with the various challenges of the appropriate maintenance strategies. A Cost and Reliability Tool (CAR Tool) will be developed. The vision of this project is to make the decision-making process regarding maintenance decisions easier and to support the entire value chain on how to minimize risk, operation and maintenance cost.

RATZ - (Root Area and Transition Zone)
The aim of this project is to demonstrate and develop a retrofit solution, the Floor™ (a Bladena patent), for avoiding crack development due to edgewise loading of the blade. The project address a serious problem seen in the field, which pose an extensive operation and maintenance cost for the wind turbine owners.
