Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to highlight the importance of using composite materials in the wind energy industry. As alternative renewable energy becomes a growing problem worldwide, investments in technologies such as solar and wind energy are growing significantly. Wind energy is a key source of renewable energy that produces electricity with very little greenhouse gas production. It is based on very high capacity wind turbines, which must be powerful and efficient. This means longer and lighter blades that are still stiff enough to withstand strong wind conditions. Carbon and glass fibre casting technology enables the production of long, light and powerful wind turbine blades, enabling a higher degree of efficiency in what has become a stable worldwide energy supply framework. The future use of these technologies will allow the development of higher capacity wind turbines, leading to a higher degree of adoption of wind power generation worldwide.
