X-DOF
Jr. nr. 64016-0121
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. The X-DOF project is supported by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Program (EUDP), which is administered by the Danish Energy Agency.
X-Stiffener™
Built to prevent leading edge cracks.
X-Stiffener™ counters twisting and peeling stresses, reducing the risk of longitudinal cracking on the leading edge.
How it works
Acts like a cross brace in a bookshelf, stabilising the blade to avoid shear web deformation caused by gravity and aerodynamic forces.
Benefits as a repair
- Increases blade durability
- Prevents early-stage cracks
- Adds strength without adding weight
