Rotor Blades – Trends and developments for blade design and lightweight materials

Fachtagung für Experten aus dem Bereich Rotorblätter für Windturbinen. Die Konferenz diskutiert die Anforderungen an Rotorblätter hinsichtlich neuer Materialien, spezifischen Designs und kosteneffizienter Herstellungstechnologien. Die Konferenz wird auf Englisch abgehalten.

Rotor blades represent up to a quarter of the investment in a wind turbine. Improving the performance of the rotor is considered a very promising way to reduce the cost of energy from wind.

The race for ever bigger wind turbines, especially for the offshore market, is creating challenging impacts on the development of corresponding rotor blades. Advanced aerodynamic and structural designs, new or optimised materials as well as cost-effective manufacturing technologies are required to advance performance whilst coping with the severe pressure on cost control.

First event to set industry benchmarks on blade design, composites and manufacturing processes

Network with key players in the industry such as Siemens Wind Power, SGL Rotec and Windnovation and gain useful information to take back:

• Gain insight into aerodynamic and structural performance of smart blade design for future wind turbines
• Learn about the benefits and challenges of carbon and natural fibres in wind turbine rotor blades
• Overcome the key obstacles in the development of controllable rubber trailing edge flap technology
• Introduce mechanisation in rotor blade production to increase cost-efficiency and quality
• Understand how advanced composite testing helps assure high quality blade performance
