Abstract

The renewable energy sector and wind turbine industry in particular have improved their cost of energy to competitive levels [1]. For the materials used to produce wind turbine blades this means to look for ways to improve mechanical performance vs cost while keeping reliability, light weight and durability. For all this, knowing the limits of a material’s reliable performance is key. In the past years more and more so called heavy fabrics are proposed. Heavy fabrics are understood as those fabrics with an area weight above commonly used 1200g/m2. Another point which has been of concern in the market in recent years is the evolution of mechanical properties during extended terms of storage and during transportation. This paper will address these 2 aspects.
