NNZA: Novel curing models for the acceleration of fibre reinforced composites-based blade manufacturing.

Project Lead: James Gilbert

Institution: University of Hull.

Partners: Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

Amount: £ 53K

Scheme: Commercialising Innovation.

Theme/Area: Integration into End Use Sectors/Net Zero/Circular Economy Transition (e.g., products, supply chain, end-users).

Brief Description: This project aims to validate a novel temperature-dependent resin curing model in a production-relevant environment, advancing its Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) from 4 to 6/7. By demonstrating its effectiveness in reducing curing cycle times without compromising safety or quality, the project will provide the confidence required to support pilot-scale industrial deployment and enable large-scale adoption in turbine blade manufacturing.
