The blade handbook

The industry-standard guide for wind turbine blades
The Blade Handbook is the go-to reference used across the wind industry. Developed through the EUDP projects LEX, RATZ, and CORTIR (Phase I & II), it brings together insights from all segments of the wind value chain to establish a common language, terminology and understanding.
This handbook is aimed at anyone involved in R&D or operations of wind turbine blades, providing clarity on processes, levels, concepts and industry best practices.
