Understanding Blade Repairs
Wind turbine blades are engineered for strength and durability, using composite materials that offer an optimal balance between weight and resilience. However, these components can still suffer from wear and tear or damage due to environmental conditions, operational stresses, and unforeseen incidents. Composite repairs are specialized procedures that restore the integrity and functionality of the blades and maintaining the turbine’s performance.
