DESIGN, ANALYSIS, AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF WIND TURBINE BLADES WITH GLASS FIBER REINFORCED WITH ALUMINIUM

Abstract: This paper presents a thorough examination of wind turbine blade design, analysis, and material experimentation, focusing on the utilization of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforced with aluminium powder. Through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental tests, the mechanical properties and performance of GFRP reinforced with aluminium powder are evaluated in comparison to conventional materials such as steel and non-reinforced GFRP. The findings highlight the superior suitability of GFRP reinforced with aluminium powder for wind blade applications, showcasing its mechanical strength, lightweight properties, corrosion resistance, and aerodynamic characteristics.
