R&D Projects

We head large development projects 
Together with the entire value chain we develop state-of-the-art blade technologies that will bring long-term value to the wind industry in a range of different projects.

Current projects


Picture
CORTIR Phase II - Cost, Risk and Transition zone Innovative Reinforcement 
The main deliverables are a new retrofit solution designed for high forces in the Root-Transition Zones (RTZ) of blades, a new innovative state-of the art operation and maintenance strategy and lastly further developments of the Cost and Risk Tool (CAR Tool).

Past projects


Picture
CORTIR - (Cost and Risk Tool for Interim and preventive Repair)
The project aims to cope with the various challenges of the appropriate operation and 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 operation and maintenance decisions easier and to support the entire value chain on how to minimize risk, operation and maintenance cost.

Picture
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.

LEX
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.​

EWIC - (End of Warranty Inspection Concept)
The scope of this 1-year project is to combine existing and new-to-the-world technologies for an end-of-warranty inspection concept for wind turbine blades. To do so, involvement from wind industry is paramount as well as development of a new tool to inspect and test bond lines in the blade.

X-DOF - (X - Demonstration Offshore Field Test)
​The purpose of this project is to establish demonstration, develop solutions fit for market and prove through a series of sub-component tests and on a 7MW off-shore turbine that the technology is ready for market introduction. The outcome of the project will be cost effective product for retrofit and new design.​ The project is an integrated part of a European consortium “DemoWind 2 ERA-NET CoFund Action” with the purpose of delivering cost reduction in Offshore Wind.
