Onshore and offshore wind, wave and tidal power generation technologies subject components to long-term stresses in environments that require optimal corrosion-free, low-maintenance performance.
The use of advanced composite product design and development in wind and wave turbines extends operating life and reduces maintenance. It has the added benefit of allowing the potential development and application of low-carbon-footprint and ‘green’ composite materials that are less demanding of natural resources than more traditional solutions.
PE Composites has been providing renewable energy customers with turbine blade solutions since 2004. Our capabilities have extended to providing research and development support for customers producing experimental tidal technologies.
Today our renewable energy projects include the provision of wind turbine tip boxed sections as part of the braking mechanism for wind turbine blade component manufacturer NEG Micon, which have been distributed worldwide.
As specialists in the design, manufacture and repair of composite structures, we can offer our renewable energy customers extensive advanced composite solutions. We are able to produce composite structures to any scale and have recently manufactured 6m blades for a prototype tidal power turbine.
