Wind turbine blade waste: a quantifying model

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This thesis presents a model for the prediction of waste generated through end-of-life wind turbine blades. The methodology utilised was based on acquiring information - mainly rated power and blade weight - on 355 real wind turbine models and dividing them into categories. The resulting model, presented in equation form, was tested through a case study and then compared to similar works. The main conclusions were that the model has a higher resolution, - compared to similar models published by different authors - 15, thus more precise, proving to be a tool that can be utilised in the decision-making of organisations such as governing or environmental agencies and wind turbine manufacturers.
