Senvion, Voodin Blade Partner For 4.2 MW Wooden Turbine Blades

German wind turbine maker Senvion, has partnered with Voodin Blade Technology GmbH to develop and manufacture wooden wind turbine blades for Senvion’s 4.2 MW wind turbine platform. This partnership will give impetus to the German wooden wind turbine blade manufacturer Voodin Blade Technology. The firm in 2024, announced the world’s maiden wooden wind turbine prototype. The company installed its 19.3-meter wooden wind turbine blades on an existing wind turbine in Breuna, Germany.

Senvion’s partnership with the German wooden wind turbine blade manufacturer will begin with a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate the technical, economic, and environmental potential of wooden turbine blades. Then, prototype blades will be installed and tested. Building on Voodin’s success in deploying prototype wooden blades in Germany in 2024, this collaboration sets the stage to bring sustainable, high-performance wind energy solutions.

Voodin Blade Technology GmbH specializes in creating sustainable wood-based wind turbine blades using LVL to enhance performance and reduce environmental impact. This collaboration represents a major step forward in tackling one of the wind industry’s biggest challenges: blade recyclability. By integrating engineered wood, a renewable and recyclable material, into turbine blade design, Voodin Blade Technology GmbH intends to address one of the industry’s biggest challenges.

Voodin’s LVL Production Technology

In addition to its sustainability benefits, Voodin’s LVL production technology eliminates the need for moulds, thus, reducing manufacturing energy consumption, and ensuring consistent quality through advanced automation. This flexible, mould-independent approach allows for seamless scalability and adaptability to meet diverse customer needs while reducing the significant CAPEX associated with traditional blade production.

Amit Kansal, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of Senvion India, commented: “The 4.2 M160 epitomises our relentless pursuit of innovation in wind energy technology. We have engineered this turbine to exceed the expectations of our global customers, ensuring superior performance and reliability in the most challenging environments. We have evaluated Voodin’s technology and see great potential in terms of sustainability and flexibility.”
