Hemp-reinforced wind turbine blade
A wind-turbine blade prototype using hemp-based reinforcement to validate damping and stiffness performance at structural scale.
SSUCHY-Next used hemp-based reinforcement in a wind-turbine blade prototype to validate damping and stiffness at structural scale. The demonstrator applies aligned natural fibres in a large composite component.
The blade is used to assess the performance of the project's bio-based reinforcement concept under demanding structural conditions. It demonstrates the potential of hemp-based composite materials beyond small-scale parts and laboratory specimens.
