Exclusive: Our latest podcast episode...
'We need a standardised dictionary for blade damage'
What is the difference between a split and a crack on a turbine blade? Our guest explains the need for an industry standard for blade damage...
Speaking ahead of Windpower Monthly’s Blades USA conference in late February, Lili Haus, wind energy engineer and scientist at the Electric Power Research Institute, talks about her quest to introduce a global dictionary of agreed terms to categorise blade damage.
In episode 32 of the Wind Power podcast, Haus, a speaker at the Blades USA conference, discusses the latest techniques available for blade inspections, the benefits of non-destructive evaluation and how predictive analysis could reduce the rate of costly blade failures.
Check out the latest episode below...
Presented by Windpower Monthly, the premier global media brand dedicated to the wind power industry since 1985, Blades USA offers a unique convergence of expertise and insight.

If you haven’t signed up for Blades USA 2024 yet, there are plenty of reasons to do so. Last year’s event was a great success, and this year’s looks set to be even better.
We’ll be covering the key issues that will help you to optimise your processes and reduce the cost of operations and maintenance. The conference will address the vital role that data plays and how we can better use it to inform our repair strategies, including the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Other sessions will cover topics from how to reduce downtime, blade abnormalities and complex repairs, to circularity and the design, manufacture, installation and transport challenges created by larger blades.
We’ve got some great speakers from a variety of organisations lined up, including representatives from turbine manufacturers, owner-operators, academics, technical experts and thought leaders.
There will be plenty of opportunities to network with your peers too, including a drinks reception. This will be the first time I’ve been to Blades USA, and I am very much looking forward to it. I hope to see you there.
