During this first annual period, Nabrawind has successfully completed the design adaptation of tower erecting system, the bade joint segment and the first joint prototype construction, integration into blade manufacturing process and validation through static testing.
Besides, in 2020 NBTECH has developed several actions to boost the recognition of the company and its tower technology. The main tools for communication have been NBTECH’s website, and LinkedIn. NBTECH have also looked for the appearance of the technology in the media and events so that the innovative technology reaches general public. Dissemination has been be developed to provide solid evidence of technology’s performance. Advanced information is addressed to specialized stakeholders.
During the second reporting period, the principal objectives related to the NABRAJOINT technology for the second installment of the project, which goes from December 2020 to January 2021, were focused on the technology validation and demonstration for its subsequent release to the market. This goal has been successfully achieved and the Nabrajoint technology is considered fully validated according to the industry requirements for the release of a new blade model to the market. In the same way, activities related to the Nabralift technology certification have been concluded. External authorized entities have validated the NABRALIFT technology complies with the specific regulations related to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications (IEC 61400-1:2019). Consequently, this technology can be now commercialized and installed.
During the third reporting period, Nabrawind has continued working in the pending activities in order to achieve the project objectives. Nowadays, the project is still in progress.
At the beginning of 2022, the project was temporarily paused due to significant delays in obtaining regulatory permits, as well as in the commercial agreements associated with the Nabralift demonstrator. From that date until now, Nabrawind team has been continuing working on the planned activities and it is expected that the project will finally conclude by mid-2026.
