Wind turbines work on a simple principle. The wind hits the rotor blades. The combination of wind speed and blade rotation results in a pressure distribution on the rotor blades. The pressure distribution causes a turning moment (torque). The turning moment rotates the shaft. The shaft is coupled to a generator that produces electrical power…
Wind turbines are highly advanced technologies. Nevertheless, the dismantling and recycling of their components is not a problem, as waste management companies have confirmed. In the meantime, companies have found safe solutions for recycling wind turbines and reusing themprofitably. Modern wind turbines can be almost completely recycled: 80 to 90 percent of the components of…
