Renewable Energy

Composites are beneficial and present in most of the environmental friendly and sustainable way of producing and storing energy. The growth rates are high for renewables market and composites utilized to a developing offshore wind market and larger wind turbines with longer blades. The GE 1.5 megaWatt wind turbine consists of three 116 ft. fiberglass blades and a blade assembly which weighs 36 tons. The use of lighter weight FRP materials means that the turbines can produce more power per unit volume, minimising impact on the landscape. Components must exhibit excellent fatigue strength, resist random loading and corrosion, require minimal maintenance and serve for 30+ years.



Key advantages;

  • Lighter blades require less power, robust tower construction, sping faster and generate more energy.
  • Design flexibility for complex shapes, better turbine performance, high strength.
  • Corrosion resistance, easy to repair and long blade life.

COMPOSITES UTILIZATION IN RENEWABLE ENERGY

The rise of renewable energy and electric vehicles will lead to significant changes.
Composite materials are beneficial materials of choice used to make the bipolar plates, end plates, fuel tanks and other components in fuel cell systems.
Due to their conductivity, corrosion resistance, dimensional stability and flame retardancy, vinyl-ester-based bulk moulding compounds (BMCs) with carbon-fibre reinforcement are selected solutions to mobility. Composites are also utilized in construction of solar power panels. Composite ceramic material prove that it can bear higher temperature from new heat exchangers included in solar panels, without any structural changes
