Autonomous Wind-Turbine Blade Inspection Using LiDAR-Equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
This paper presents a LiDAR-equipped unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) performing semi-autonomous wind-turbine blade inspection which includes traversing to the blade tip and back, while keeping constant relative distance and heading to the blade plane ...

Wind turbine blade waste in 2050.
Wind energy has developed rapidly over the last two decades to become one of the most promising and economically viable sources of renewable energy. Although wind energy is claimed to provide clean renewable energy without any emissions during operation, but it is only one side of the coin.

Thermal-Fluid-Solid Coupling Analysis on the Temperature and Thermal Stress Field of a Nickel-Base Superalloy Turbine Blade. [PDF]
Based on the establishment of the original and improved models of the turbine blade, a thermal-fluid-solid coupling method and a finite element method were employed to analyze the internal and external flow, temperature, and thermal stress of the turbine
