SMART BLADE
Following the IEC 61400-1 standard we conducted load simulations and an FEA study on a generic wind turbine blade. We investigated the effect the VGs have on the blades'' structural integrity.

Explore key innovations in wind turbine blade design, from materials to smart tech, for beginners and engineers advancing renewable energy solutions.
Ming Yang has unveiled a 110-meter carbon fiber wind blade designed to be fully recyclable, tackling a major challenge in wind energy waste.
This review discusses recent studies to guide materials scientists and renewable-energy engineers toward promising routes to deployable, multifunctional, self-healing anti-erosion coatings,
To obtain a statistically sound result, we need at least 6 test turbines (along with 6 control turbines). The turbine pairs must be carefully selected in advance (we call that “trial turbine selection”).
The project has two main thrusts: wind tunnel testing, to obtain optimal actuation techniques for dynamic stall, and field testing, of active flow control technology in real world conditions.
Smart blades refer to wind turbine blades that incorporate local sensors and actuators distributed along their length, allowing for active load control by adjusting the relative wind flow or loads in response to
SMART BLADE is a dynamic and innovative company active in the field of wind turbine aerodynamics. We offer the full range of aerodynamic blade add-ons for all turbine types, including our successful
In high-wind conditions, these mechanisms can quickly deflect wind or change the blade''s airfoil shape to prevent dynamic stall. By actively managing these forces, smart blades significantly
We offer all disciplines of a wind turbine rotor blade design. SMART BLADE focuses especially on blades for small wind energy and unique designs for academic research or prototype projects.
Vortex generators (VGs) are passive flow control device that are commonly employed to prevent flow separation on wind turbine blades. They mitigate the damaging fatigue loads resulting
“ We have been very successful and competitive installing VG''s and other aerodynamic enhancers to wind turbine blades over the years. The business case and benefits make sense to us and we are
Chinese energy giant Ming Yang Smart Energy has developed the “world''s first fully recyclable carbon fiber wind turbine blade.” Dubbed MySE23X, it measures over 110 meters (361
Smart-Blade technologies cause researchers to expect a considerable reduction in the loads, which affect rotor blades. This enables an aerodynamically optimized and lighter design of wind energy
Our advanced visualization technique allows us to get a deep understanding of the in-field aerodynamic performance of the wind turbine blade. SMART BLADE offers this service to both turbine operators
Improve the noise emission of your turbines by installing serrations. Noise regulations force many operators to run their turbines in a noise-reduced mode especially at night.
This paper presents a modeling strategy of the aerodynamic Gurney flap effect on two-dimensional airfoils and, subsequently, on the rotor blade performance of horizontal axis wind turbines.
Current large wind turbine blades, bearings and other heavily loaded components suffer from extreme and fatigue loads. Meanwhile wind turbine control systems have reached a limited
Smart blade systems can enhance power generation, reduce costs, and improve turbines'' lifespan. Our concept development consisted of selecting optimal blade profiles, control mechanisms, and sensor
