Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material recycling, specifically relating to a method for repairing and preserving the shape of retired wind turbine blades. Background Technology

[0002] Wind power generation is a crucial step in building my country's modern energy system. By the end of 2021, my country had over 170,000 wind turbine units, with 2.0-2.9MW units being the most numerous, accounting for 47.3%, and units above 5MW accounting for 4.7%, with an average unit capacity of 2025kW. The blades are the core component of a wind turbine, capturing wind energy and converting it into mechanical and electrical energy. Their high cost accounts for 20%-30% of the total cost of a wind turbine. (The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a specific weight or unit, "10-15 kg·kW".) –1 In terms of blade usage, the cumulative installed blade volume nationwide has exceeded 3.4 million tons.

[0003] When wind turbine generators are decommissioned, the blades are also decommissioned. The recycling and disposal of these decommissioned blades is a significant challenge in wind turbine decommissioning. Currently, the main methods for separating and recycling fiber-reinforced composite materials from waste blades include mechanical, thermal, and chemical methods. However, a green, economical, and scalable recycling technology is still lacking. The main reason for this is that decommissioned blades have strong mechanical properties, making disassembly and crushing difficult, and they lack high-value components, resulting in a mismatch between the input and output of recycling.

[0004] Wind turbine blades are primarily composed of fiber-reinforced composite materials and sandwich materials. Upon decommissioning, the blades may be structurally sound or have localized damage, but their overall mechanical properties generally remain good. Therefore, repairing and reusing the blades can realize the high-value utilization of decommissioned blades. Furthermore, the configuration of wind turbine blades conforms to the basic characteristics of many public facilities and small buildings, and they can generally still be used for decades after decommissioning, making them suitable for conversion into other facilities. Therefore, for decommissioned blades that are severely damaged and have high repair costs, they can be reused while preserving their shape through cutting and modification.

[0005] Patent CN115582411A discloses a method for the resource utilization of retired wind turbine blades. The retired wind turbine blades are processed and combined to produce recyclable products. This includes splitting the entire blade for use as a gentle slope support structure for windbreak and sand fixation; using the middle section of the blade as the main structure for petal-shaped or fish-shaped seats, supplemented by wind turbine blade sheet material as the seat surface; using the circular section at the root as the main structure for shops, cafes, etc.; and using the pointed tip of the blade as a directional marker for road signs, etc. This method provides an idea for the processing and combined utilization of retired wind turbine blades, but it does not provide a method for the repair and utilization of wind turbine blades, and the processing and combined utilization scheme is relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a method for repairing and preserving the shape of retired wind turbine blades, which enables the tiered utilization of retired wind turbine blades and is a simple and economical utilization method.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A method for repairing and preserving the shape of retired wind turbine blades includes appearance inspection and analysis, infrared thermography inspection and analysis, blade repair and test analysis. If the appearance inspection and analysis, infrared thermography inspection and analysis and test analysis are all qualified, the blade is reused as a shape-preserving regenerated blade. If any one of them is unqualified, the blade is cut and modified according to the design of the application scenario to obtain a shape-preserving utilization facility.

[0009] Furthermore, the visual inspection analysis is used to determine the condition of the blades for fracture, cracking, and deformation. If the blade has a main beam fracture, cracks ≥1m, or a length tolerance ≥0.2% of the design length, it is deemed to be unqualified in visual inspection. Cracks are mainly examined in the main beam. The core material at the leading and trailing edges is not a major load-bearing structure, and larger cracks can still be repaired. Changes in blade length are mainly caused by deformation during use. Excessive deformation has a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the blade. Therefore, the length tolerance should be controlled within 0.2% of the design length.

[0010] The infrared thermography analysis is used to determine the presence of cracks, delamination, bubbles, and debonding in the blades. Cracks refer to cracks in the main beam; delamination refers to cracks between layers within the main beam; bubbles refer to bubbles larger than 5mm in diameter inside the main beam and at the bonding point between the main beam and the core material; and debonding refers to the separation between the main beam and the core material. If the total number of cracks, delamination, and bubble defects exceeds 5, the infrared thermography inspection is deemed unqualified. An excessive number of cracks, delamination, and bubble defects requires extensive repairs, which may sever the original fibers within the main beam, affecting overall mechanical properties. Therefore, the total number of defects must be controlled to ≤ 5.

[0011] Furthermore, the repair involves fixing blade cracks, delamination, bubbles, and debonding defects. The crack and delamination repair method includes cutting a square groove along the crack and delamination direction to remove the cracked and delaminated portions; smoothing the square groove and cleaning it with acetone; laying reinforcing fiber cloth in the square groove; preparing a polymer solution and pouring it into the square groove; removing air bubbles from the polymer solution by extrusion; laying reinforcing fiber cloth and pouring polymer solution in the same manner, removing air bubbles, with the reinforcing fiber cloth spaced 3-6 mm apart, until the square groove is filled; further polishing the surface and applying a blade surface coating to complete the crack and delamination repair.

[0012] The bubble repair method involves drilling a 3-5mm diameter hole at the bubble location, cleaning it with acetone, creating a vacuum at the hole, mixing a polymer solution with a 3-5mm long reinforcing fiber, injecting the mixture into the bubble location, and filling the hole to complete the bubble repair. The repair process for cracks, delamination, and bubbles should minimize cutting of existing fibers, and the repaired area should be supplemented with blade coating. Repairs to blade coatings and lightning protection systems should also be considered within the scope of the repair.

[0013] The debonding repair method involves injecting fiberglass repair adhesive into the debonding area and removing air bubbles from the adhesive by squeezing to complete the repair of the debonding defect. The debonding usually occurs inside the blade, and the repair process should not involve drilling holes from the outside of the blade to inject fiberglass repair adhesive. Instead, it is necessary to enter the inside of the blade, find the debonding area, and inject adhesive for repair. Therefore, this work can be carried out by robots or manually.

[0014] The polymer solution is one of epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, and vinyl ester resin solution; the reinforcing fiber is one or two of glass fiber and carbon fiber.

[0015] Furthermore, the test analysis involves conducting natural frequency testing, static testing, and fatigue testing on the repaired blade. If the deviation of the natural frequency test result from the original blade's initial design value does not exceed ±2% and is less than ±5% of the unit's excitation frequency harmonic, and the deviation of the static test load and fatigue test results from the original blade's initial design value does not exceed ±5%, then the test analysis is deemed qualified, and the qualified repaired blade is a conformal regeneration blade.

[0016] Furthermore, the defective blades are cut using one of water jet cutting, laser cutting, and saw blade cutting, including cutting the blade tip 5-25m, cutting the blade root cylindrical section 2-10m, cutting from the blade root to the middle of the blade 5-25m, and cutting the middle of the blade 5-25m.

[0017] Furthermore, given the high level of public interest and curiosity surrounding wind power, repurposed wind turbine blades can be transformed into various public facilities and buildings, placed in densely populated urban areas and along roadsides. This not only represents a resource-based approach to the green economy of retired blades but also offers aesthetic appeal and effectively disseminates knowledge about wind power. Blade transformation includes converting 5-25m long blade tips into billboards erected along roadsides and in public places, with advertising slogans and graphics painted on both sides of the blade; converting 2-10m long cylindrical blade roots into small houses with doors and windows, either vertically or horizontally; converting the 5-25m long blade roots down to the bottom of the blade into small houses, with the top converted into billboards; and cutting a 5-25m long blade in half to obtain two halves, which can then be converted into bus stops or shelters. Based on the excellent properties of the blade materials, facilities converted from retired blades can extend the blade material's lifespan by 1-2 years, resulting in a service life of 20-40 years.

[0018] Beneficial technical effects of the present invention:

[0019] (1) The method of the present invention realizes the cascade utilization of retired wind turbine blades, which is a green and low-cost reuse approach;

[0020] (2) The method of the present invention first considers the repair and reuse of the blade, and secondly considers the simple cutting and redesign of the blade for reuse, which can extend the blade material by 1-2 life cycles and improve the utilization efficiency of the material.

[0032] Repairing a 10-year-old wind turbine blade in Northwest China was carried out. Visual inspection revealed no main beam fractures or cracks ≥1m in length, and the deformation length tolerance was less than 0.2% of the design length. Infrared thermography analysis of cracks, delamination, bubbles, and debonding revealed three cracks ≤0.5m in length and one delamination site on the main beam. Square grooves were cut along the crack and delamination directions to remove the cracks and delamination. The grooves were smoothed and cleaned with acetone. Reinforcing fiber cloth was laid in the grooves, and a polymer solution was prepared and poured into them. Air bubbles in the polymer solution were removed by extrusion. The same process of laying reinforcing fiber cloth and pouring polymer solution was repeated, with 3mm intervals between reinforcing fiber cloths, until the grooves were completely filled. The surface was further polished and a blade surface coating was applied, completing the repair of the cracks and delamination. Further analysis of the blades was conducted using natural frequency testing, static testing, and fatigue testing. The deviation of the natural frequency test results from the original blade's initial design value was ±2%, which is ±20% of the excitation frequency of the turbine. The deviations of the static test load and fatigue test results from the original blade's initial design value were ±5%. Based on this, the repaired blades can be reused for wind turbine power generation.
