Bladena and the D-String® solution were presented at WindExpo 2017 in Tokyo by GSIWind. With the increasing installations of wind turbines both offshore and onshore in Japan, Bladena sees a good potential in the market for its D-String®. D-String® enhances the structural design of the blades and eliminates the risk of cracks in the trailing edge max chord area. The edgewise loading of the blades normally driven by gravity, will increase significantly in case of earth quakes; hence the Bladena solution is a perfect match to the Japanese market where the conditions can be extreme.

On 8 November 2016, Bladena attended the On-Shore Service and Maintenance Conference in Aalborg. The conference focused on highly relevant topics within wind turbine service and maintenance including Blades, Controls & Power Upgrades, Drive Train & Service, Hydraulics & Cooling etc. In value chain terms, the conference focused on the period from the expiration of the manufacturer warranty to the decommissioning of the wind turbine.
With expertise in blades Bladena shared its knowledge on blade failures and how to prevent them. As speaker at the conference Ryan Lauridsen, CEO at Bladena, elaborated on D-String® and D-Stiffener™ - products designed to prevent cracks on blades and reduce cost on operation and maintenance. In addition, Bladena also took part in the exhibition and networking having an exhibit from where the Bladena technologies were showcased and explained. The Participants included owners, manufacturers, service companies and sub suppliers covering more or less the full value chain on the wind turbine market in Denmark.
Bladena is now bringing its attention to the Spanish market. By teaming up with Delta Power S.L.U., a Spanish Company promoting business initiatives worldwide within the renewable energy sector, Bladena has intensified its marketing and development of the D-String® product along with other services in the Spanish market.
"It is important for us that our company has the best possible chances when it comes to penetrating a new market. Therefore, we are happy to partner with Delta Power. The quality of Delta Power's professional team and their extensive experience and market knowledge make them a great partner for the international expansion of the D-String® portfolio", says Ryan Hagelskjær Lauridsen CEO of Bladena. D-String® is an innovative technology solution that prevents cracks in the trailing edge of the blade, contributing significantly to increase the lifetime of the blade and reducing the cost of energy. Fernando Valldeperes, Partner Manager of Delta Power notes that "D-String® is a great example of an innovative and competitive solution capable of responding to the needs of our customers to extend the life of the blades. “With the backing of Bladena ApS, a dynamic company with extensive technical knowledge of this key component of the wind turbine, we can now avoid these high and premature costs." "There is a huge potential growth in the Spanish market within the renewable energy sector. We have seen many examples of cracks in the trailing edge of the blades which means that the problem is surfacing and becoming an issue for turbine owners all over the world. Installing the D-String® can minimize damage costs and increase the lifetime of the blade", says Ryan. Bladena is in a continued good development and we need more space to be able to spread our wings.
