Blade Manufacturing And Composites Forum
Windpower Monthly is delighted to announce the highly anticipated Blade Manufacturing And Composites Forum - bringing you the latest in cutting-edge materials technology, production processes and cost-effective design solutions for blades.
This forum will cover the intricacies of the construction phase - from concept, through research and development, to volume release. This is the only industry event to focus specifically on the technical and commercial challenges of blade composites manufacturing for both the onshore and offshore markets.
Highlights of the conference will include:
- Leading manufacturers discuss their composites strategy and production methods, to help drive a competitive supply chain
- Developing composite blades that will withstand operational requirements and life-cycle expectations
- How to access the funding mechanisms available for composites R&D
- Balancing aerodynamic performance with structural integrity, to ensure optimum and efficient performance
- How automated wind blade development will revolutionise production and supply
- Structural health monitoring and the separate testing of critical design details to assure reliability and quality control
- Sharing knowledge from other industries to help mitigate the challenges of wind blade design
- Advances in blade technology to increase energy yield
