Several studies have suggested using composite materials to manufacture turbine components, despite the lack of references to the production of rotating molded blades for small wind turbines. Large wind turbine blades in the context of wind power generation are mostly built of composite materials.
While many materials have been used successfully for wind turbine blades, blade designs are primarily based on fibreglass composites. The increasing rotor size of current designs, with its changing design drivers, is leading designers to examine other materials and use them innovatively.
The wind turbine blades' performance depends on the blade's material, the blade's shape, and the blade's angle. In general, the material of the blade should possess high stiffness, low density, and extended fatigue life features. A wide range of materials is used in wind turbines.
Moreover, the lifecycle of wind turbine blades—from manufacturing through to disposal—poses significant environmental and economic challenges. The sustainability of materials used in blade construction is critical, as is the ability to recycle these materials at the end of the blade's lifecycle.
