Blades
When: Wednesday, 24 November 2021, 10:30 - 12:30
Where: Auditorium A12
Session description
Blades have become so big that they deserve now their own session! Wind turbine blades are capturing the energy from the wind and transfer it to the wind turbine mechanical drivetrain. Their spectacular size increase and the operation in various types of environments brings many challenges in terms of design, manufacturing, performance, monitoring, maintenance and end-of-life. This session will therefore cover several aspects of the blade lifecycle.
