Service life management
Service life management The operational lifetime of wind turbines is limited through fatigue. Without effective fatigue monitoring and prediction, turbines must be operated conservatively and might be retired from service…
Rotor blades
Wind turbine rotor blades frequently exceed 80 m in length. Composite materials offer enormous weight savings along with excellent fatigue properties.The main components of rotor blades are a load-carrying web-spar-structure and…
