Wind turbine blade maintenance faces a critical industry bottleneck: current practices rely on specialized rope access technicians performing manual repairs while suspended at height. This approach creates multiple significant challenges. The specialized workforce for rope-access blade repairs cannot scale to meet growing demand as wind energy capacity expands, creating scheduling bottlenecks and forcing wind farm operators to run with suboptimal blade conditions and 50-year old state-of-art.

Solver information
Reblade ApS
Reblade’s brings automated drone-based wind turbine blade repair technology to the wind energy industry. The innovation directly addresses a critical industry bottleneck: the reliance on manual rope-access technicians for blade maintenance, which is labor-intensive, dangerous, slow, and increasingly unsustainable as wind energy capacity expands globally.
Solution
Reblade’s solution automates blade repairs using advanced drones with modular capabilities, including precision landing, surface preparation (sanding/grinding), cleaning, and application of leading-edge protection (LEP) coating.
This technology transforms what traditionally takes 4-5 days per turbine (three blades) into a process completed in mere minutes, reducing turbine downtime by approximately 90% and generating CO₂ savings of about 447 metric tons per turbine repair.
