“By combining SMART BLADE’s field-proven aerodynamic expertise with 3M’s trusted bonding and manufacturing capabilities, our solutions are helping many wind turbine operators achieve long-lasting AEP gains that contribute to reducing the levelized cost of energy.”

“The biggest sources of opportunity are collaboration, and with the partnership of SMART-BLADE, we are able to deliver a better solution for our customers.”

“We were pleased with the results of the verification test at Bobcat Bluff. For Chestnut Flats we are predicting even better results due to a wind regime that is better suited for VGs.”

“We have been very successful and competitive installing VG’s and other aerodynamic enhancers to wind turbine blades over the years. The business case and benefits make sense to us and we are very excited about our partnership with SMART BLADE going forward.”

“With this project of installing vortex generators to the blades of our N100 Gamma turbines, the aim was to increase energy output and it was decided, to implement the project in five different wind parks to 80 wind turbines.”

“We retrofitted one of our wind farms, consisting of 10 turbines built in 2012, [...] and are convinced of the profitability of our investment. The cooperation with SMART BLADE was very professional throughout the project and the installation of the Vortex Generators went smoothly. Currently, we are already planning the retrofit of another wind farm together with SMART BLADE.
”

“We are very confident in the cost-effectiveness of the 3M / SMART BLADE Vortex package. After installing the aerodynamic upgrade, we see a significant increase in energy yield. The upgrade has now been installed for over a year [...] and the investment has already paid off. We have ordered the retrofit of all turbines in the park and will equip more turbines.”
