Development Of Wind Turbine Blades Based On Hybrid Bio-Composites
Bio-composite is a composite material that consist of matrix (resin) and a reinforcement from natural fibres. The purpose of this study is to discuss on the methods and steps to make a research on hybrid composites between glass and natural fibres. This research has lead to the fabricating process o...

| description | Bio-composite is a composite material that consist of matrix (resin) and a reinforcement from natural fibres. The purpose of this study is to discuss on the methods and steps to make a research on hybrid composites between glass and natural fibres. This research has lead to the fabricating process of wind turbine blades. In this project, the fabrication process of hybrid bio-composite material using natural fibres were discussed and the mechanical properties will be analysed. The use of hybrid bio-composite material to produce wind turbines are expected to reduce the manufacturing cost of the material used. The material was tested on its tensile, bending and compression properties. The results from tensile, bending, and compression testing were then tabulated and bar charts were plotted to make comparisons based on composite types (GFRP, CFRP, PFRP, CGFRP, and PGFRP). Hybridization of natural fibre composite shows a significant increase in tensile and bending properties such as specific strength and specific modulus. From compression test, the results show minor changes in compressive properties among each type of composite. |
