Carbon fiber reinforced materials - glass fiber reinforced materials

Abstract

Wind power plants are promising alternative energy systems. The rotor blades are subject to high demands: Long life, light weight, and high stiffness. A GFRP/CFRP combination was chosen for a 316 kW plant, the composite construction is by far superior to the metal construction. Design, fabrication, and testing are described. The plant has a power of 316 kW for a wind velocity of 8.5 m/sec, a rotational speed of 37 min/sup -1/, a rotor diameter of 52 m with a blade length of 25.2 m and a blade mass of 1 t. An experimental component 10.2 m long was constructed and tested with satisfactory results.
