Advances in Wind Turbine Rotor Blades

13 15 February 2012 | Swisstel Bremen, Germany
The race for ever bigger wind turbines, especially for the offshore market, is creating challenging impacts on the development of corresponding rotor blades. Advanced aerodynamic and structural designs, new or optimised materials as well as cost-effective manufacturing technologies are required to advance performance whilst coping with the severe pressure on cost control. This conference will bring you insights from the leading companies of the wind energy industry like Siemens Wind Power A/S, Vestas Wind Systems A/S, GE Energy, SGL Technology GmbH and many more.
