The ACT Blade is a modular textile-based composite offshore wind turbine blade. It has a patented innovative manufacturing process that will provide lighter wind turbine blades leading to increased energy production and a decreased the levelised cost of energy (LCOE). In addition, the patent-pending load control system is able to increase blade efficiency and maximise durability. The production of lighter wind turbine blades by ACT Blade will enable larger wind turbines to be deployed within the field, significantly reducing costs per unit of electricity generated. This project aims to design, manufacture, test and validate a prototype of a scaled version of the offshore ACT Blade. The proposed consortium (established by ACT Blade) comprises Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (OREC), together with the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre (LMC) partners: Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) and the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC). Between them, the consortium has many years of composites, manufacturing, industrial test, commercial and management experience.

ACT 叶片是一种基于织物的模块化复合材料海上风力涡轮机叶片。它拥有获得专利的创新制造工艺，将提供更轻的风力涡轮机叶片，从而提高能源产量并降低平准化能源成本（LCOE）。此外，正在申请专利的负载控制系统能够提高叶片效率并最大限度地提高耐用性。 ACT Blade 生产的更轻的风力涡轮机叶片将使更大的风力涡轮机能够在现场部署，从而显着降低单位发电成本。该项目旨在设计、制造、测试和验证海上 ACT Blade 的缩小版原型。拟议的联盟（由 ACT Blade 建立）由海上可再生能源弹射器 (OREC) 以及轻量化制造中心 (LMC) 合作伙伴：先进制造研究中心 (AMRC) 和先进成形研究中心 (AFRC) 组成。该联盟拥有多年的复合材料、制造、工业测试、商业和管理经验。
