Well-maintained wind turbine blades are crucial for maximum yield and minimal downtime. Redak performs periodic and targeted maintenance to reduce wear and tear prevent damage, and extend the life of the blades.
Wind turbine blades are subjected to considerable stress. Due to their high rotational speeds—sometimes up to 380 km/h—they are constantly exposed to rain, dust, and dirt. The leading edge, in particular, wears out over the years. Without timely maintenance, cracks, erosion, and other damage develop, which can lead to loss of performance and high repair costs.
At Redak, we carry out inspections and maintenance on wind turbine blades every two to three years.
During these maintenance sessions, we repair wear and tear areas and identify potential damage, such as:
Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of wind turbine blades and prevents high repair costs. In practice, we often see blades that have not been maintained for years. This often leads to serious damage, making repairs much more expensive than if regular intervention had been performed.
During maintenance, we regularly see damage caused by prolonged exposure to the elements or lack of maintenance:
Without maintenance, these problems can accumulate and lead to increased drag, noise pollution, poorer airflow, and lower turbine efficiency. Well-maintained blades retain their aerodynamic properties and therefore deliver higher performance.
