Concepts for adaptive wind turbine blades

2002 ASME Wind Energy Symposium, 2002
Bend-twist coupling in wind turbine blades has been shown to reduce both fatigue and extreme operating loads, especially when applied in conjunction with a pitch-controlled rotor. This type of coupling has been used in other industries, implemented either through biased lay-ups of fiber-reinforced materials, or with swept wings.

Fluidic Load Control for Wind Turbine Blades

47th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including The New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2009
This paper describes the initial steps into the investigation of the possibility of reducing fatigue loads on wind turbine blades by the application of fluidic jets. This investigation involves static pressure measurements as well as numerical simulations for a non-rotating NACA-0018 airfoil.

Recycling wind turbine blades

Renewable Energy Focus, 2009
WITH A BOOMING WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY, DRIVING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LARGER AND LARGER TURBINES, THE QUESTION IS NOW ARISING OF HOW TO DEAL WITH WIND TURBINES AT THE END OF THEIR LIFECYCLE, AND PARTICULARLY THOSE WIND TURBINE BLADES MADE OF HARD-TO-RECYCLE COMPOSITES.
