WIND

TRC in collaboration with the Composites Unit of the Technological Center of Catalonia, EURECAT, has developed the first composites manufactured from recycled fiber. This represents an important first step towards reusing turbine blades to create lightweight...

The study of the physico-chemical properties of the recycled fibers carried out in Research Centre CENIM-CSIC shows the optimal conditions of the R3FIBER process allow the obtention of fibers with barely modified elastic modulus that maintains around 90% of the...

Once raw materials are ready (composites from wind blades) the treatment by R3FIBER technology is performed, in which glass and carbon fiber reinforced composite is subjected to different heating curves in controlled atmosphere and temperature, and after that a...

Reception of the wind blade takes place on TRC installations, where pilot plant is located. In these installations operations of cutting, segregation and selection of the wind blade components are performed, separating segments of glass fiber, carbon fiber nucleus,...

After producing thousands of clean and sustainabler energy kilovats, and saving the emmission of tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, one of the wind blades from number 19 wind mill in Bont Vent Vilalba (property of EDPR) came to the end of its life cycle....

This month segmentation and collection of damaged wind blade from Bon Vent Vilalba wind farm, in Tarragona, has been carried out. This wind farm, is property of EDPR. These services was provided by Vent i Sol, an expert company in wind farm mantaince. During the...
