The Concept of Segmented Wind Turbine Blades: A Review [PDF]

Energies, 2017
There is a trend to increase the length of wind turbine blades in an effort to reduce the cost of energy (COE). This causes manufacturing and transportation issues, which have given rise to the concept of segmented wind turbine blades. In this concept, multiple segments can be transported separately.
