Re-Wind Publishes its Fall 2021 Design Catalog

Welcome to the Fall 2021 Re-Wind Design Catalog!

This catalog presents designs and details of structures and products made from End-of-Life repurposed wind turbine blades that are available from the Re-Wind Network.

The Re-Wind Network is a network of faculty, staff and students at five academic institutions - Georgia Institute of Technology, University College Cork, Queen’s University Belfast, City University of New York and Munster Technological University - and industry affiliates. On the web at www.re-wind.info

Models of the blades used in the designs were produced at the Georgia Institute of Technology using in-house software from LiDAR scans or documentation of four decommissioned wind turbine blades. Graphics were produced in Rhinoceros® and Enscape™ software. The blades used in the designs are listed below. They represent typical sizes and lengths of blades currently coming out of service throughout the world.

1. 13.4m blade from a Nordex N29 250 kW turbine.

2. 21m blade from a Vestas V44 600 kW turbine.

3. 37m blade from a General Electric GE 1.5-77 1.5 MW turbine.

4. 46.7m blade from a Liberty Clipper C96 2.5 MW turbine.
