A Navarre consortium develops a health monitoring system for modular wind blades
The Navarre-based companies Nabrawind and Aresse and AIN (Navarre Industry Association) are developing a project to monitor the structural health of the modular blades that the wind energy sector expects to massively implement in the upcoming years. This project is included under the umbrella of Digital A
SEnDA: Development of Intelligent Technologies for Large-Height Wind Turbine System
OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS In the search for more competitive energy sources, it has been demonstrated that using higher-power turbines for wind energy generation results in a lower LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy). The turbines announced for future onshore markets exceed 5-6 MW, while offshore turbines surpas
Nabrawind’s BladeRunner executes a 20-ton blade exchange in an ACCIONA Energía wind farm
BladeRunner, the crane less blade replacement system developed by Nabrawind, has been used to execute a demonstrator maneuver for ACCIONA Energía in Aragon (Spain), consisting of the uninstallation and installation of a brand new Nordex N149 blade. The operation was part of ACCIONA Energía’s strategy

Nabrawind and Peikko develop an innovative rock foundation for projects in Namibia
Nabrawind and Peikko have developed an innovative rock foundation for wind turbines that will be first implemented in the Elizabeth Bay wind farm developed by the renewables Franco/Namibian company InnoSun Energy. Peikko, European leader in solutions for Onshore Wind Turbine Foundations, has a long and st
Nabrawind starts testing the installation of the first two modules of its Self-Erecting Tower
Within the next few days Nabrawind will begin the assembly of the first two frame modules of the Nabralift tower prototype. The goal is to reproduce the process of installation at the beginning of 2018 of the real tower prototype, which will reach a height of 160 metres. The trial will be carried out on [
Nabrawind confirms funding for development of pioneering methods of testing wind towers and segmented blades
The Ministry of Economy and Competitivity of the Spanish government has confirmed it will finance the NEVA project (new strategies for validation of wind turbines), which will be developed by Nabrawind Technologies in partnership with CENER from the end of 2016 until 2018. This financing was provided thr
