Breathing Life into Sustainable Wind Energy: The Launch of Practical Wooden Turbine Blades

LVL is a green energy innovation that is making wind energy even greener. Recently, Voodin Blade Technology successfully installed the first practical wooden turbine blades for a wind turbine in Breuna, Germany. These 19.3 meter long blades are made from homodirectional plywood consisting of many thin layers of wood and are considered a more sustainable material than fiberglass and other synthetic materials currently used in wind turbine blade production.

Voodin Blade Technology aims to address the issue of non-recyclable end-of-life cycle for most wind turbine blades by creating more environmentally friendly blades. The company has conducted numerous laboratory tests to perfect the material, ensuring it is strong and durable. The new wooden blades have shown higher fatigue resistance and can withstand various weather conditions.

The use of CNC milling machines allows for complex 3D shapes and highly automated production processes at Voodin Blade Technology, reducing the need for manual labor and opening up the possibility of relocating production facilities closer to wind farms. This can help reduce transportation costs and emissions associated with the manufacturing process. Overall, the increased level of automation in production presents a more sustainable and environmentally friendly option for the wind energy industry.
