Modular blade construction

A smooth aerodynamic exterior assembled from joined span modules. This construction approach is distinct from surface fins and the optional internal weight mechanism.

The intended advantage

Transport manageable sections and assemble the blade near the site. The aim is to make installation accessible where a single very long blade would be difficult to move.

What we will establish

Joint strength, fatigue life, surface continuity, shipping envelopes, assembly time and maintenance economics require engineering and testing.

Aerodynamics at the surface

Blade fins

Multiple lengthwise fins on the blade pressure side are one embodiment within our modular blade patent family. The objective is to explore improved aerodynamic capture with a platform-specific retrofit product.

What we will establish

Tunnel and rotor comparisons, durable attachment, erosion and fatigue, and controlled full-scale net electrical output.

Development route

Retrofit development with wind owners, blade specialists and qualified service partners.

Internal blade weight system

An internal frame, rail and drive arrangement changes the radial position of mass inside a modular blade. Our historical scale testing gives this work a starting point.

What we will establish

Actuator energy, complete energy balance, rotor balance, weight containment, loads and fatigue in a suitable carrier blade.

Development route

Joint development with a blade manufacturer and independent rotor test team.

A different approach to conversion

Adaptive generator

Magnetic coupling and gearing connect the main shaft to multiple generator modules, with controlled engagement and cooling. The work focuses on conversion behavior across a range of operating conditions.

What we will establish

Torque-speed efficiency, auxiliary consumption, thermal behavior, controls and physical integration with the selected host turbine.

Development route

Bench development followed by a defined full-scale trial with generation and drivetrain partners.

Yaw at the base

Rotating tower

The patented architecture uses a broad tower body, base support and roller-drive arrangements. The tower and nacelle yaw together rather than relying on conventional nacelle rotation.

What we will establish

Foundation and bearing design, structural and dynamic loads, fatigue, yaw power and lifecycle economics.

Development route

A dedicated structural development program before an integrated full-scale demonstration.

Integrated wind turbine

Our longer-term objective combines the accepted blade, generator and tower technologies. The first full-scale program centers on a suitable existing 500 kW–2 MW turbine, while structural tracks may require separate hardware.

What we will establish

Coupled controls and loads, net electrical output, installation and maintenance economics, and acceptance of the complete system.

Development route

A staged engineering consortium. The 100 MW+ concept remains a research ambition, not a demonstrated capacity.

Blade fins →

HEPS blade fins are surface features proposed for the pressure side of a wind turbine blade. They are an aerodynamic concept within the HEPS portfolio. Original design renders and animations explain the arrangement; wind-tunnel and electrical-output tests must establish whether it provides a useful net benefit.

Modular wind turbine blades →

HEPS modular wind turbine blades use joined span sections beneath a smooth aerodynamic exterior. The proposed construction aims to support transport and assembly near the turbine site. The concept model shows ribs, spars, joints and pitch motion; transport dimensions, joint strength and fatigue life still require engineering.

Internal blade weights →

The HEPS internal blade weight system proposes moving mass along guide rails inside a modular wind turbine blade. Repositioning the carriages changes the distribution of rotating mass. This architecture requires an HEPS rotating tower; any net electrical benefit must account for actuation energy, structural loads and losses.

Adaptive wind turbine generator →

The HEPS adaptive generator concept places movable generator modules around a magnet-lined main shaft in an open support frame. Actuators change the modules’ radial position to illustrate proposed engagement control. An elongated variant adds module banks; efficiency, magnetic clearances, cooling, control behavior and net output still need validation.

Modular rotating towers →

HEPS rotating tower concepts propose turning the complete tower and mounted equipment at a base bearing and rail-supported roller system. Cylindrical and symmetric biconvex forms use stacked structural modules. The architecture differs from conventional top-nacelle yaw; foundations, restraints, bearings and load capacity require structural validation.

Integrated HEPS wind turbine →

The integrated HEPS wind turbine concept combines compatible modular blades, internal weights, adaptive generation and a rotating tower. The 100 MW research configuration adds a biconvex tower and elongated generator architecture. Its rating is a research target; the models and comparison calculator do not establish commercial or independently tested performance.
