Abstract

As a clean and environmentally friendly energy, wind energy is developing rapidly. With the development and construction of wind farms, wind turbines have reached their service life in succession and entered the stage of decommissioning. In this paper, the typical waste glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites wind turbine blades are studied and discussed, and the mechanical tensile properties and surface micro properties are analyzed. The tensile strength of blade materials pyrolysis residue was measured by universal testing machine, and the pyrolysis experimental residue of blade materials were characterized by SEM, the change law of micro morphology of blade samples in pyrolysis process were analyzed. The results show that when the pyrolysis temperature is 350.0 ℃, the loss rate of elastic modulus of pyrolysis residue of blade materials at this temperature is low, and the pyrolysis residue with good elastic modulus and tensile strength can be recovered.
