eta Blades designs, develops and manufactures innovative wind blades and supports re-blading programmes for the next wind farm generation needs: enhancing the value of assets (vs lower or no incentives) while improving wind farm efficiency (vs market saturation) at a lower environmental impact (vs. deteriorated social acceptance).
Different competences, coming from our top management / entrepreneurial experiences in wind, marine and aerospace, and multi-skilled teams, lead with our partners, are joined together to craft new blade profiles, use advanced materials, adopt innovative technologies driving the efforts towards overall wind farm efficiency improvement.
Our vision is to be able to achieve:
- more from less windy sites while maintaining high efficiency under conditions of strong wind
- significantly improving of the output from old wind-farms providing longer life-cyle
- loads reduction on blade, gearbox and tower under any wind condition through the adoption of advanced manufacturing techniques and design methods embedding self adjusting bend-twist and passive deforming
- the ability to seamlessly support our clients from start to end, from designing a new blade suitable for their original equipment and site conditions, through to authorization procedures and investment decisions
In other words remarkable cost reduction ratio ($/kWh) for wind turbines, and improved wind farm returns.
eta Blades, through its Design, Manufacturing, Moluding&Tooling, Blade Service, Testing&Certification, Studies&Scenarios departments, supports customers to extract the maximum value from their wind farms partnering with them from small wind development opportunities up to large scale re-blading programmes.
