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 cost of energy. The modularity, light weight and sustainability of its design – originally inspired by yacht sail structures – is well-suited to scale-up for onshore and offshore machines.
The company has succesfully completed the structural tests on its first prototype, the ACT 27 at the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and completed a 6-months test campaign on a testing turbine at the biggest onshore wind farm in the UK - Whitelee Windfarm (Glasgow).
Founders Dr Sabrina Malpede (MD), Dr Alessandro Rosiello (Finance) and Dr Donald MacVicar (CTO) have almost two decades of 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.
