Single Blade Installation in High Wind Speeds

Project Details

Description

When installing wind turbines, interruption and delay of the installation process due to high wind speeds are a huge cost for the wind industry, especially offshore. This is in contradiction to the turbines being installed in locations with high wind speeds to generate the most power output. The objective of this project is therefore to raise the limit for single blade installation in high wind speeds, by actively controlling the Blade Dragon lifting equipment to counteract wind disturbances.
