ACT BLADE EUROPE

The promise of a new breath for wind energy

ACT BLADE is the name of a wind turbine blade covered with tensioned textile, whose shape can adapt to loads it receives. An ACT blade is composed by an internal composite fishbone structure, made of a spar and ribs and it is entirely covered with highly engineered textile. 

As a subsidiary of ACT Blade Ltd, co-fFounded by Sabrina Malpede, ACT BLADE EUROPE implements leading-edge aeroelastic design technology -successfully developed for competitive racing yachts- to produce the lightest and most adaptable wind turbine blade. This blade offers a step-change innovation in design and production for the wind turbine sector greater than almost any other single innovation available in the industry, as well as a wide range of other environmental and social benefits. The ACT Blade technology, protected by two international patents, will directly support the development of renewable wind energy on a larger scale.

Thanks to a new patented construction method and the use of textiles, the ACT blade is up to 32% lighter than conventional blades, allowing it to be 10% longer and directly contribute to the production of 9% more energy. Another advantage: its modular structure requires smaller installations and promotes a lean production process with low energy consumption.
