Germany: Pontis Attends ‘Advances in Rotor Blades for Wind Turbines’ Event

The 2012 “Advances in Rotor Blades for Wind Turbines” conference in Bremen, Germany was the first event to set industry benchmarks on blade design, composites and manufacturing processes. All key players in the industry such as Siemens Wind Power, SGL Rotec and Windnovation were present and its success demanded a sequel in 2013.

This year, Pontis was invited to this high end forum to share its knowledge and views on bridging design and production of next generation rotor blades. The race for ever bigger wind turbines, especially for the offshore market, is creating challenging impacts on the development of corresponding rotor blades.

Project engineer Edgar Suselbeek presented their experience in harmonizing conflicting interests in the design and manufacturing phase to achieve an optimized and customized solution. Please download his presentation here.
