HOW TO REPAIR A WIND BLADE

Wind turbines are crucial for the generation of renewable energy. But what happens when the rotor blades need to be repaired?

To minimize downtime and keep maintenance costs low, it is important to bring those critical components back into service as fast as possible. Repairing wind turbines is a complex process that requires precision, expertise and cutting-edge technology. In coorparation with our valued customer SUNREZ we have developed innovative UV-curable prepregs for this purpose. These consist of four layers: a glass fiber NCF, a black UV backing film, a transparent top film and an UV blocking film. The glass fiber fabric is optionally available as UD, biax or combi non-crimp fabric.
“The beauty of field repair with our fiberglass patches lies in its efficiency. It allows you to fix damaged parts while cutting costs significantly, because of the fast curing time and reduced labor costs.“- Bret Tollgaard, CEO Sunrez Corp.
Together, we have developed the ideal fiberglass prepreg with the exact amount of resin for the wind energy market. With our advanced technology, repair patches can be installed and cured in less than 10 minutes, ensuring a fast and effective repair to keep wind turbines operating at maximum performance.
