6 FAQs about [Wind turbine generator casing material requirements]

What is included in the (wind turbine) electricity generator assessment?

This paper presents the work of the author in the (wind turbine) electricity generator part of that assessment, it includes the aspects of technology and system state-of-the-art; material supply status; on-going research and players; materials specification targets for 2020/2030 and beyond.

How big should a wind turbine be?

Typical dimensions are a diameter of 3 to 4 meters (m) and a length of 4 m to 6 m. Offshore wind turbines rated at 8 MW or more require larger hubs, with 40–50 metric tons of cast iron and diameters close to 8 m. Future land-based and offshore wind turbines are expected to be larger than current designs.

What are the recycling scenarios for offshore wind turbines?

Recycling scenarios Material outflows are the result of EoL OWE demolition, thus the cumulative material demand for OWE installation is expected to generate large amounts of waste when offshore wind turbines reach their end-of-life.

What materials are used for offshore wind turbines?

Bulk materials, rare earth elements (REEs), key metals, and other materials for manufacturing offshore wind turbines nacelles, rotors, towers and foundations were considered.

How much cast iron does a wind turbine bedplate contain?

Bedplates for current land-based wind turbines contain 10 to 20 t of cast iron, with current offshore wind turbine bedplates using more than 30 t of cast iron with additional structural steel. A summary of typical dimensions for cast-iron hubs and bedplates in the current generation of wind turbines are provided in Table 1.

What are the components of a wind turbine?

The main components of wind turbines include rotor blades, rotor hub, main shaft, gearbox, electricity generator and power converter, all generally hosted in a nacelle supported by a bedplate that is mounted on a tower and rotates thanks to a yaw bearing system see Fig. 1.
