6 FAQs about [Coating of wind turbine blades]

Can elastomeric coatings protect wind turbine blades?

The development of two novel elastomeric erosion resistant coatings for the protection of wind turbine blades is presented. The coatings are prepared by modifying polyurethane (PU) with (i) hydroxyl functionalised graphene nanoparticles (f-GNP) and (ii) f-GNP and a hydrophobic silica-based sol–gel (SG).

Why do wind turbine blades need a surface protective coating?

With the development of the wind power industry, the size of wind turbine blades is increasing, and rain erosion of the blades continues to worsen. To maximize the service life of blades and reduce the maintenance cost during blade service, the choice of surface protective coating is especially important.

Do wind turbine blades need to be externally coated?

To counteract the invasion of these natural environmental factors and improve the bearing capacity and erosion resistance of the blades, wind turbine blades must be externally coated. 22, 23, – 24 The coating system for wind turbine blades mainly includes water-based coating systems and solvent-based coating systems.

How to protect wind turbine blades?

Fiber pulp reinforced coatings have a great potential for the blade protection. Nanocellulose reinforcement has potential to delay the degradation of coatings. Leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades is the most often observed damage mechanism of wind turbine blades, which causes also additional costs for the maintenance of wind turbines.

What is surface layer protection for wind turbine rotor blades?

This chapter discusses surface layer protection for wind turbine rotor blades. The surface protection and coating can be a gelcoat or a paint and can be made of unsaturated polyester, epoxy, polyurethane or acrylic. As wind turbines are often erected in harsh climates, the blade surface will be exposed to conditions that cause erosion and wear.
