Our Blades:
the next generation
Wind energy needs turbines with longer blades to remain a competitive renewable energy source.
The current methods to build longer blades using composite materials imply increased weight and higher production costs. Heavier blades also increase fatigue loads on turbine components, which leads to higher production and maintenance costs.
​
The ACT blade is the lightest, most controllable, only modular and most sustainable wind turbine blade ever developed.
Made of an internal composite structure and fully covered by highly engineered textile, it is lighter than conventional made blades enabling building longer blades.
It is easier to dismantle, and its production requires smaller tools and manufacturing facility, making an ACT blade very sustainable.
ACT 100​
The ACT100 is a 49.2m long blade for 2MW turbines.
It is created to be retrofitted on existing turbine to increase energy production and extend the life wind farms.
It is generally 10% longer than existing blades, meaning it increases energy production by up to 9%, with an opportunity to 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.
Sustainability
Our ACT Blade offers real potential to increase the use of wind energy and displace the carbon emissions of conventional power generation.
​
As it is component-based and requires a much smaller production facility, it can create opportunities to expand wind energy in remote regions and develop local contents, jobs and skills. The modular manufacturing techniques also embody a sustainable end-of-life approach.
