Carbonveneta is among the European leaders in this market segment and produces laminates and plates of various thicknesses, widths and roll lengths. Standard laminates have an Elastic Modulus normally between 140 GPa and 280 GPa, while for special projects they can be produced with dedicated yarns thus obtaining the desired Elastic Modulus.
Until a few years ago, with turbines having blades 10-15 meters long, fiberglass was commonly used while today, with blades of off-shore turbines which can even reach 130 meters in length, it is indispensable use of carbon fibre, which guarantees high quality components and the best possible mechanical properties, as the blades must be able to support high loads for the entire life of the equipment.
Spar caps play a crucial role in increasing the efficiency and energy production of wind turbines. Due to their structural strength and the reduction in the overall weight of the blades, spar caps allow the wind generators to operate more efficiently, capturing and making the most of wind energy.
This means a significant increase of energy production, helping to maximize the efficiency of the equipment.
