Coating Modern Wind Turbines - How Hard Can it Be?

Coating Modern Wind Turbines - How Hard Can it Be?
Available for download

Wind has been used as an energy source for centuries. Although the first wind turbines were built at end of the 19th century, the modern wind power industry, as we know it today, didn’t emerge until a century later. Today these wind turbines have an expected lifetime of up to 25 years. In addition, they are often placed offshore or in rugged terrain, making repairs extremely difficult and costly. There is a need for both tremendous corrosion and erosion protection to achieve the required lifetime expectancy.

There is a need for both tremendous corrosion and erosion protection to achieve the required lifetime expectancy. Coatings for corrosion protection have a long track record, and there are a lot of accelerated test methods to choose from. But what is less well understood is: What makes a good erosion resistant coating, and how is this performance best tested?

Going Beyond Standard Corrosion Prevention Efforts and Getting Improved Life Cycle of Wind Energy Equipment

Product Number: 51220-264-SG
Author: Michael MeLampy
Publication Date: 2020
$20.00

This presentation will discuss current accelerated testing methods used to approve coatings used on wind tower foundations, towers and other related equipment. The presenter will discuss global coating standards used for system selection, and the presenter will provide potential system upgrades and efforts to allow for extending coating life expectancy to first major maintenance activity. Additional information on related experiences of other industries in environments such as onshore and offshore will be discussed.

The paper provides a review about the corrosion and corrosion protection of offshore wind energy devices (OWEA) with a focus on the support structure. Firstly, special features resulting from location and operation of wind energy devices offshore are being discussed. This includes the definition of a load collective. Secondly, types of corrosion and corrosion phenomena are summarized in a systematic way.
