ACT Blade Ltd Details
ACT Blade Ltd develops and will commercialise the next generation of wind turbine blades: the ACT Blades. The novel ACT Blade is a tensioned textile-covered wind turbine blade that can actively change the shape to control loads. It is 32% lighter than conventional blades, enabling it to be 10% longer and directly contributing to the production of 9% more energy with a 7% reduction in the levelised cost of energy (LCOE). The component-based ACT Blade will reduce the cost of tooling by 60%. Its factory will also be 47% smaller than those of conventional blades. Founders Dr Sabrina Malpede (MD), Dr Alessandro Rosiello (Finance) and Dr Donald MacVicar (CTO) have fifteen years' experience in developing and commercialising innovative high-tech design solutions through their first successful venture, SMAR Azure Ltd, the market leader in tailored computerised design and analytical software for the marine industry. More than 200 users in 30 countries and two certification societies, Lloyd's Register and RINA, use its products. The company has succesfully completed the static tests on its first prototype, the ACT 27.More information on actblade.com or actblade-eu.com
