SSP Technology – A Reliable Partner in Competitive Blade Solutions

SSP Technology has been in the wind energy business since 2001 and is renowned for high quality standards and extensive know-how in wind turbine blade technology. The company designs blades, develops and manufactures moulds and patented blade components for the production of cost-effective, high-performance and reliable composite material blades. SSP Technology possesses leading edge expertise in the field of blade technology and mould construction from the drawing board to production, focusing on aerodynamics, uniform quality, low weight and high productivity.

A Complete Range of Services
SSP Technology offers a broad spectrum of products and services – all based on the company’s belief that every solution should be customised to each individual customer. Søren Horn Petersen, Sales Director of SSP Technology is aware of what makes the company so special: “One of the things that makes SSP stand out from its competitors – apart from extraordinary expertise and know-how – is the ability and willingness to constantly adapt to the needs of the market. We work in close cooperation with our customers to ensure the finished product meets their requirements.”

The company’s mission is to enable the customer to produce competitive blades. To do so, it must be at the forefront of the market and fully understand each customer’s specific issues and needs.

SSP Technology’s Product Range

Blade Design
The geometry of a blade is crucial in making the most of the wind. To develop the most competitive blade, a number of factors must be considered. Choice of aerodynamic and optimal structural solution must be based on the specific turbine, the customer’s manufacturing facilities and preference of materials.

The tendency towards larger turbines, and thus also blades, requires greater emphasis on aerodynamic considerations and structural efficiency. Consequently, SSP recently drafted in aerodynamic and structural design expertise in order to have full control of all projects and to be able to closely follow the entire process from drawing through mould-building to prototyping.

Moulds
Mould concepts (see Figure 1) from 34 up to >60 metres have been realised for a number of the world’s major turbine suppliers. SSP’s moulds are characterised by accuracy of fit, low weight and long lifespan and are thus different from the average mould concepts of today. In order to stay competitive, there is a constant focus on choice of materials and thorough testing is conducted. During the development phase, special emphasis is placed on achieving high mould productivity.
