Technical training
Blade Repair Standard / V5 23022026
COMPOSITES AND BLADE CONSTRUCTION
60 min.
The aim of the lesson is to introduce the participants to basic knowledge about blade construction, components, and aerodynamics.
After having successfully completed this lesson of the Blade Repair Module, the participants can:
96) Show interest in understanding how blade construction, components, and aerodynamics influence blade performance and in mitigating blade damage (Ability, basic level)
ELEMENT 14.1 - AERODYNAMICS
Learning objective:
97) The participants can describe basic aerodynamic principles and how these cause a wind turbine rotor to turn (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Describe the aerodynamic principles of a wind turbine blade
Explain how blade aerodynamics causes the rotor of a wind turbine to turn
Describe typical aerodynamic and safety add-ons used on wind turbine blades
Explain how aerodynamic performance and safety add-ons change blade performance
Explain how blade surface defects affect blade noise and productivity
Ask the participants relevant questions about basic aerodynamic principles and how these cause a wind turbine rotor to turn
The participants shall:
Share their understanding of basic aerodynamic principles and how these cause a wind turbine rotor to turn
