WindStrand® H reinforcement provides blade components weight savings of up to 20 percent versus conventional E-glass blades of similar design, depending on the size of the blade.
With WindStrand® H reinforcement, designers can increase blade lengths as much as 6% at the same weight to deliver up to 12% more power.
WindStrand® H reinforcement can provide a direct manufacturing cost savings of up to 20% compared to other competing carbon-glass hybrid solution currently on the market.
WindStrand® H reinforcement benefits ultimately result in a lower cost per kilowatt hour and help to level the playing field for wind energy vs. traditional energy sources.

WindStrand® H - Features & benefits :
- WindStrand® H reinforcement provides blade component weight savings of up to 20% versus conventional E-glass blades of similar design, depending on the size of the blade.
- Blade weight savings translates in a longer rotor lifetime and in overall reduction of the turbine maintenance (decrease of the oscillating fatigue loadings, both on the bearings and at the blade root).
- Designers can increase blade lengths as much as 6% at the same weight to deliver up to 12% more power
- Ultimately resulting in a lower cost per kilowatt hour.
