    Study Notes

    Blade repair is crucial in the wind turbine industry to maximize productivity for 10-15 years and prolong the life of the turbine. The propeller of the turbine comprises a composite material, including fiberglass cloth and carbon cloth soaked in a liquid resin solution, which requires timely inspection and repair. Blade repair is a GWO required course for employees in the wind industry, and the person performing the repair must be certified and have the necessary knowledge, ability, and attitude to work safely. Failure to maintain blade repair regularly can lead to unexpected turbine shutdowns, higher repair costs, voiding manufacturer warranties, inability to meet peak power demand, and loss of revenue. The blade repair process involves surface cleaning, identification of damages, and repair measures depending on the severity of the damage. Routine maintenance and blade repair of the wind turbine is a form of cost savings and other benefits. It is recommended to have a specific blade repair plan and hire a professional blade repair team to ensure repair quality and save time and costs.
