Innovative wind turbine blades manufactured with glass fabrics

摘要

Cost of energy (CoE) is a key parameter in modern wind turbine design. To improve CoE, wind turbines must be manufactured cost effectively and have a long life cycle. The design of wind turbine blades plays a key role in energy generation. Lighter blades require less material and need smaller support structures, which helps reduce costs. More energy can be produced with an existing generator if die blade delivers more torque wifh little wind or if fhe turbine can run longer at stronger wind speeds. Better fatigue properties of fhe materials result in a longer product lifetime.
