The BLATIGUE project is organised in seven Work Packages and two tracks; multi-axis testing and fatigue exciter.
Track #1
The outcomes of Track #1 will result in the development and demonstration of a fast and efficient fatigue test methods for large wind turbine blades. The test method will be suitable for testing all sizes of blades between 14 and 75 m and be scalable to blades more than 100 m long.
Track #2
The outcomes of Track #2 will result in the design, production and demonstration of a prototype of a newly designed exciter, that allows a more efficient and a more realistic fatigue test of wind turbine blades when compared to state of the art. The exciter will be capable of testing all sizes of blades between 14 and 75 m and be scalable to blades more than 100 m long.
