NabraWind Technologies

NabraWind Technologies is a Spanish company based in Pamplona, dedicated to the design and development of advanced wind technologies for wind turbine components, as well as engineering services advisory. The company has developed several innovative products aimed at reducing the cost of energy and addressing logistical challenges faced by the onshore wind turbine industry.

One of NabraWind's key offerings is the Skylift system, released in the first quarter of 2023. Skylift is an innovative installation system that enables craneless installation and is compatible with any kind of standard wind turbine. It consists of two components: the Self-erecting System and the BladeRunner. The Self-erecting System can install both the nacelle and the tower, even in extremely high wind conditions of up to 15 million/s, while the BladeRunner is designed for the maintenance and installation of wind turbine blades. The BladeRunner allows for direct manipulation of the blade, enabling it to be easily raised and lowered in a vertical position without the need for a crane.

The Skylift system boasts a highly efficient installation rate, with the ability to completely install one turbine per week, even in adverse wind conditions. It is compatible with the latest generation of wind turbines, including 6MW, 7MW, and 8MW models, and can install wind turbines over 200 meters in height.

Another product developed by NabraWind is the Nabralift, a self-erecting truss hybrid tower with a tubular section at the top. This technology was one of the company's first projects and aimed to break the barriers faced by conventional towers for very high hub heights (above 120 meters).

NabraWind also offers Nabrajoint, a modular blade technology applicable to any wind turbine blade (existing or new) that allows manufacturing blades in two or more parts, facilitating transportation and on-site assembly. Additionally, the company has developed NabraBase, an elevated foundation solution for wind farms located in areas where concrete supply or soil conditions may pose challenges.
