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 project
|
CORTIR Phase III - Cost, Risk and Trailing Edge Innovative Reinforcement
This project headed by Bladena is a continuation of CORTIR Phase II, with a primary focus in minimizing Operational Expenditure (OPEX) of wind turbine blades and maximizing the Annual Energy Production (AEP) of wind turbines, using a risk based approach. |
Past projects
|
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). |
|
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. |
|
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. |

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. |
