Making your blades stronger

The X-Stiffener™ is a solution developed to prevent longitudinal cracks on the leading edge of the wind turbine blade, which are often found after only a few years of operation.
​​
X-Stiffener™ will positively affect the operation of your wind turbine

• Increased anticipated lifetime of blades
• Secures operation of the blade without added maintenance cost
• Minimized maintenance time reduces LCoE and increases the profit margin​​.

Why it works

X-Stiffener™ significantly reduces twisting and peeling stresses to a non-critical level. The twisting in turbine blades is caused by edgewise loading due to gravity and aerodynamic forces caused by the wind. The X-Stiffener™ acts like a cross in a bookshelf and thereby avoiding deformation of the shear webs.
