Morphing structural materials used in wind turbine blades
With growing demands for cleaner and more sustainable energy, there has been rapid development in the wind energy industry. This trend has led to an increase in the size of wind turbines, which could cause drawbacks such as increased stresses, more complex control systems, and more costly manufacturing and transportation. Due to their high aerodynamic efficiency, light weight, and structural simplicity, morphing structures have become of great interest in the renewable energy industry. Morphing structures are structural systems capable of shifting their geometric form across two or more stable configurations to achieve targeted engineering functionalities. Despite having many advantageous characteristics, there is a significant challenge with designing morphing structures; that is, the structure must be compliant to demand low actuation force, while being stiff for load-carrying purposes. One approach to addressing this issue is using composite materials with anisotropic properties or bistable/multistable behavior. Through an extensive review of the recent literature, this study aims to provide insights into the underlying structural concepts and mechanical properties of morphing structural materials and their viability and sustainability for wind turbine blade applications.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to disseminate the most compelling and pertinent critical insights in renewable and sustainable energy, fostering collaboration among the research community, private sector, and policy and decision makers. The journal aims to exchange challenges, solutions, innovative concepts, and technologies, contributing to sustainable development, the transition to a low-carbon future, and the attainment of emissions targets outlined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes a diverse range of content, including review papers, original research, case studies, and analyses of new technologies, all featuring a substantial review component such as critique, comparison, or analysis. Introducing a distinctive paper type, Expert Insights, the journal presents commissioned mini-reviews authored by field leaders, addressing topics of significant interest. Case studies undergo consideration only if they showcase the work's applicability to other regions or contribute valuable insights to the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. Notably, a bibliographic or literature review lacking critical analysis is deemed unsuitable for publication.
