Certifying Wind Turbine Blade Derived Products

风力涡轮机叶片在其使用寿命期间要行驶数百万英里。随着第一代风力涡轮机叶片开始下降，为了安装更高效的涡轮机而退役，ReBlade正在为这些绿色能源资产设计循环二次寿命。该项目将率先对退役的风力涡轮机叶片进行测试，以评估叶片的结构完整性。新的测试方案将有助于确定单个叶片是否处于足够好的状态，可以重新制造成长凳、人行道和庇护所等物品。该项目还将确定再制造叶片衍生产品的安全认证要求。

Wind turbine blades travel millions of miles during their operational lives. As the first generation of wind turbine blades start to come down, being decommissioned so that more efficient turbines can be installed, ReBlade is designing circular second lives for these green energy assets.This project will pioneer testing regimes for decommissioned wind turbine blades to assess the structural integrity of blades. The new testing protocols will help determine whether individual blades are in good enough condition to be remanufactured into items such as benches, walkways and shelters. The project will also identify safety certification requirements for remanufactured blade-derived products.
