In order to be competitive in the energy market, the cost of wind power has to be driven down. Current blade designs exhibit a cubic relationship between length and mass. The aim of this project is to improve on this trend by exploring new structural concepts. Optimization techniques and high performance composites are used here as tools to devise novel ideas for the production of longer, more cost ecient blades that deliver cheaper kWh.
