Advances in Rotor Blades, Conference Day 1 | Tuesday, 25th August 2026

12:40 Panel Discussion: Standards as guidance – Not a shield, not a guarantee.

Standards as guidance – Not a shield, not a guarantee. - Setting the Context for Rotor Blade Reliability, Failure Prevention, Cost and Quality, and the Future Design Direction under IEC 61400.

Standards provide essential guidance for rotor blade design, but they are neither a shield against failure nor a guarantee of long-term reliability. This panel discusses how standardisation sets the context for reliability, failure prevention, cost and quality decisions under increasing technical and economic pressure. It also looks ahead to the future development of IEC 61400 and the resulting consequences for blade design, manufacturing and lifetime performance.

Advances in Rotor Blades, Conference Day 2 | Wednesday, 26th August 2026

15:00 Rotor Blades in a Changing Global Market - Costs, Failures, Lifetime Economics – and What "More Reliable" Really Means

• Global rotor blade market landscape: Europe, China and India

• Lifetime economics: How blade failures, repairs and component exchanges might affect OPEX and consequently operators' and manufacturers' business

• Discussion: What does reliability mean in measurable, operational terms rather than as a generic design goal? Are current estimates of lifetime costs and failure rates sufficient to justify higher reliability targets?
