“Increasing demand for lightweight, durable materials in turbines”
- Lightweight composite materials like carbon and glass fibers improve the aerodynamics and performance of wind turbine blades, leading to greater efficiency in energy generation while reducing material costs and overall weight, optimizing turbine operation.
- Durable composite materials enhance the lifespan of wind turbine components, especially blades, reducing maintenance costs and the frequency of replacements. This is particularly critical in offshore wind farms where exposure to harsh environmental conditions accelerates material degradation.
- For instance, An IIT Mandi-incubated startup has developed an AI-enabled yoga mat, aligning with the growing health consciousness driving the adoption of Wind Turbine Composite Material s. This "Make in India" innovation enhances personalized fitness experiences by leveraging advanced technology, offering real-time feedback and personalized coaching to users seeking better fitness outcomes.
- Technological advancements in composite material manufacturing, such as automated processes and resin systems, have led to cost-effective production. These innovations make lightweight, durable materials more affordable, accelerating their adoption in turbine manufacturing.
