Structural analysis reveals a segmented blade matches performance of conventional designs, indicating an innovative approach for turbine logistics.

The segmented blade presents a similar natural frequency to a conventional blade, achieving 0.658 Hz.
Deflection at the tip of the segmented blade is reduced to 2.8 m compared to 5 m for the conventional blade.
The structural analysis demonstrates a weight gain of only 1,150 kg, indicating a 5% increase from the conventional design.
This design solution highlights the potential for effective transportation and installation of larger wind turbine blades.

CONTRERAS et al. (2025) studied this question.
