Bladed 5

A modernised, automated, and flexible platform for aeroelastic analysis, turbine design, and engineering at scale

What is Bladed 5?

Bladed 5 is a new platform for large‑scale wind turbine simulation, built around three core principles: Flexibility, Automation, and Collaboration. 

It helps engineers model complex turbines, validate inputs early, run large simulation batches efficiently, and work consistently across tools and teams.

Key benefits

Flexibility

Model any turbine architecture with a fully modular assembly tree. Supports open data workflows and precise control of components.

Automation

Run thousands of simulations at scale with validated inputs and custom workflows.

Collaboration

Standardised inputs/outputs for easy sharing across teams and tools. Secure, distributable data with control over what’s shared.

Enercon

The data we get is the data we use, bringing ownership of component data fully back to where it is produced.

How Bladed 5 works

  • Define and validate - Bladed 5 software

    Create your turbine model using Bladed 5's modern input structure. Self-validating schemas catch errors before simulations run.

  • Automate and scale with Bladed 5 software

    Use Python APIs to generate inputs, run simulations, and automate full workflows.

  • Analyse for website - Bladed 5 software

    Inspect results, export structured data, and share models across your team. Distributed data control ensures only what’s needed is shared.

We were struggling with the old $PJ files, they’re not friendly for machine editing. Moving to JSON format with an officially released Python package is a game-changer.

The benefits of our involvement in Bladed 5 development are multiple. Not only do we get to directly show our wishes to the developers in advance, we also have the opportunity to test how the program fulfils them.
