Many people know that glass fiber and carbon fiber are widely used in wind power, but they may not be clear about their specific applications. Today we will talk about glass fiber, carbon fiber, balsa wood, and hard materials. Application of foam (PU, PVC, PET and HPE, etc.) in blades and nacelle covers.
In the wind power industry, glass fiber is mainly used to manufacture wind turbine blades and nacelle covers; carbon fiber is mainly used in large-size blades and nacelle covers; balsa wood is mainly used in blades; rigid foam is mainly used in blades and a small portion for cabin covers. In the cost of the entire fan, the blades account for 20% of the cost of the fan.
The application of reinforced materials and sandwich materials in the wind power industry is mainly reflected in blades, nacelle covers and hub covers. The main material components of the cabin cover, the main material components of the hub cover, etc.
