Abstract
Blades are regarded as the only component unique to wind turbine blades. They represent only 10 – 15% of the total system cost so the perception is that a reduction in the cost of energy through blade cost improvements is constrained. However, the use of advanced manufacturing technologies is expected to directly reduce cost savings. The aim of this report is therefore to identify manufacturing technologies offering potential for facilitate the construction of very large offshore blades and their potential for (patentable) intellectual property exploitation. This report should be read in conjunction with Package 1C.
