This collection represents our ongoing commitment to supporting the wind energy community with actionable knowledge, focusing on wind turbine blade optimization and maintenance. Curious to explore more? Contact us on [email protected] Let us know your thoughts or questions—we are always happy to engage!  Dear Network, As we approach the end of the year, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our LinkedIn network, partners, and colleagues. Your collaboration, engagement, and support have been instrumental in driving innovation and progress in the wind energy industry throughout 2024. May this holiday season bring joy, warmth, and cherished moments to you and your loved ones. We look forward to continuing our journey together in 2025, pushing boundaries and making strides towards a more sustainable future. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with health, happiness, and success!  Dear Network, We are proud to present our newest Poster Collection, released last week as part of the CORTIR III Mid-Term Seminar! This collection represents a significant milestone in our commitment to knowledge sharing and supporting the wind energy community. Each poster is designed to provide actionable insights and promote informed decision-making in the field of wind turbine optimization and maintenance. Below is a glimpse of one of the posters from the collection. We hope it inspires discussions and innovative ideas within the community.  We are thrilled to announce that the CORTIR III Mid-Term Seminar in Copenhagen was a big success! With participants from across the wind energy industry, this gathering provided a dynamic platform for exchanging innovative ideas, sharing project updates, and establishing key milestones for the next phase of CORTIR III. The main objective of the project is to deliver more reliable wind turbine blades with extended lifetimes, thereby lowering Operational Expenditure (OPEX) and optimizing Annual Energy Production (AEP). The seminar emphasized key objectives: Validation Process for Blade Reliability. Exploring how global blade responses influence local responses and failure modes, leading to a method for aligning expectations and responsibilities between stakeholders. Realistic Lifetime Estimations: Ensuring accurate predictions of blade lifetimes, identifying critical design areas, and fostering innovation in blade design to meet 30-year operational goals. Reliability and Risk-based maintenance strategies: Identify critical areas of wind turbine blades prone to failure. Optimize resource allocation to reduce unplanned downtime and extend blade lifetimes. A big thank you to the 25 partners representing 12 WTO´s/IPP´s who attended and enriched the discussions. Your insights were invaluable in shaping the future of the project. We also extend special thanks to the speakers who led impactful workshops and panel discussions, and to the colleagues from RES, who joined us in celebrating this milestone. Together, we are paving the way for a stronger, more sustainable wind energy future.

These cracks are more likely to occur on the pressure side of the trailing edge panels, specifically in the transition zone and maximum chord area, due to the high curvature. They are caused by local out-of-plane panel deformations, which is a fatigue-driven issue that can lead to failure. Bladena has a solution for this!
