ACT 100

a 49.2m long blade for 2MW turbines

Key benefit

The ACT100 offers wind farm owners a larger rotor, which increases energy production by 9%, extend the turbine operational life by 10 years.

Depending on the level of the subsidy cap, this can translate to a Return on Investment of 15-20%, which is not highly sensitive to changes in energy prices.

How it Works

ACT Blade will initially focus on optimising existing wind farms by "reblading”, meaning retrofitting 2MW turbines (MM92 turbines) with its ACT100 (49.2m-long blade).

The ACT100, by expanding by 10%, the rotor swept area, will increase energy production by 9% and offer a life extension/ second life opportunity to these turbines and a ROI between 8% and 15% to owners depending on the wind site. There is no alternative solution for wind farmers.

Main benefits

Our ACT Blade expands the boundaries of blade technology and makes wind power generation more effective and more competitive by:

Increasing Wind Energy Production

Its lower weight enables longer blades to be built with lower mass and the same mass-moment at blade root, producing more energy with minimal change in turbine loads.

Lowering the Cost of Wind Energy

For example, an ACT blade can be 10% longer than a conventional blade, producing over 9% more energy and reducing the levelised cost of energy produced by c.7%.

Reducing Capital Costs

Due to its modularity, the ACT Blade can be manufactured by existing supply chains and entails a far simpler and faster assembly process which can reduce capital costs by up to 45%.

Improving sustainability

The ACT Blade is designed to be partly recyclable and to use recycled material, reducing landfill waste and aligning with responsible energy production.
