6 FAQs about [Surface treatment of wind turbine wind tube]

How to protect wind turbine rotor blades?

Fundamentals of surface protection for wind turbine blades Wind turbine rotor blades are protected on the surface by gelcoat or paint. The surface protection is necessary because there will always be pinholes in the composite – the laminate – of which the rotor blades are made.

What is surface layer protection for wind turbine rotor blades?

This chapter discusses surface layer protection for wind turbine rotor blades. The surface protection and coating can be a gelcoat or a paint and can be made of unsaturated polyester, epoxy, polyurethane or acrylic. As wind turbines are often erected in harsh climates, the blade surface will be exposed to conditions that cause erosion and wear.

Do wind turbine blades erode?

As wind turbines are often erected in harsh climates, the blade surface will be exposed to conditions that cause erosion and wear. There are tests to measure resistance against these attacks, and the surface is designed to minimize damage to the blade caused by the environment.

What materials are used in wind turbine rotor blades?

New materials are widely used for aircrafts, and the materials and technologies that are developed for aircraft can be transferred to wind turbine rotor blades. Foils are widely developed, especially for helicopter rotor blades. With more and larger wind turbines, foils may be developed specifically for wind turbines.

Should a wind turbine rotor be soft or hard?

For instance, one decision that must be made is whether a soft or a hard surface will be used. In some cases, a soft surface will provide superior wear resistance, particularly at the beginning of the life of the wind turbine rotor blade. This is because hard particles can be absorbed by the soft surface, making it become harder.

Can wind turbine rotor blades be used for a long time?

To ensure that wind turbine rotor blades can be used for a long time without damage, more test methods and modelling need to be developed. Today, many methods relating to the dynamical properties of the blades are being developed and used.
