PbL develops highly efficient rotor blades

Within the scope of the cooperation project "Polymer-based rotor blades for small wind turbines", the chair of Polymer-based Lightweight Design of BTU Cottbus - Senftenberg is developing a highly efficient adaptive fibre composite rotor blade.
Thanks to a novel structure, the very light rotor blade can adapt optimally to changing wind conditions and deliver a significantly higher power output than previous wind turbines, even at low wind speeds.
The small size of the rotor blades also allows the wind turbines to be used in inner-city areas, which means that climate-neutral electricity can be produced decentrally and directly at the point of consumption, making an important contribution to the energy turnaround.
A first test plant has already been commissioned by the project partner and is currently determining the output and operating status under different wind conditions.
