When a 900 kW turbine experienced curtailment due to blade overload, the operator sought a solution to resist strong winds and enhance the structural strength of the blades. Following a technical assessment, root cause analysis, and the application of D-TE™ reinforcements on six blades, the outcome was significant: - Structural strength increased by 40% - AEP gain: +255 MWh/year per turbine - Return on investment: 18 months D-TE™ is a lightweight trailing edge reinforcement technology developed to address cracks, edge openings, and structural fatigue - while also offering a temporary repair option for lightning-related damages. With D-TE™, turbines remain in operation longer and with greater resilience, even under extreme conditions.
What a great few days at WindEurope in Copenhagen! 🌍✨ It was fantastic to see the industry come together once again - so many inspiring conversations, innovative ideas, and meaningful connections. A special highlight: Find Mølholt Jensen, founder and CTO of Bladena had a great time reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new colleagues from RES following Bladena’s acquisition. It is exciting to see the collaboration and shared vision taking shape! |
