The materials came with distinctive groovings to enable the DIAB method of core infusion. Each blade skin was produced in a female mould using a combination of VARTM (vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding), pre-preg and hand lamination.

With support from DIAB and within the requested 15 months and targeted budget, SSP Technology was able to produce the first complete prototype at the company’s production site in Denmark.

The Blade was then transported to the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) in Bremerhaven, Germany, where it is now undergoing testing and evaluation to prove the quality of the blade incl.

SSP spar box and root design developed by SSP Technology. The tests, which will be verified by the Norwegian firm DNV, include two months of static testing and a 25-year lifecycle fatigue test, which will last approximately six months. After the successful completion of the tests, the production of the three remaining prototype blades will begin.
