Resin Infusion Strategy For Wind Turbine Blade

This report explains about the project entitled Resin Infusion Strategy for Wind Turbine
Blade. One of the most important parameter in Resin Infusion process is the strategy of
filling. The location of the resin start to penetrate and the vacuum will be applied is
much depends on the design to infused. There are several strategies, namely point
feeding, edge feeding, line feeding and multiple line feeding. As the design getting more
and more complex, the complete wetting of the fiber by resin will become increasingly
difficult and the resin flow front progression will become slower. The proper infusion
strategy and good technique is needed to achieve a better fiber-to-resin ratio for the final
product and good filling time taken for infusion process to complete. Trial and error
experiments need to be conducted several times to learn the technique and familiarize
with the resin infusion process and thus can decrease unsuccessful experiments later on.
The proposed design for this project is wind turbine blade which will be infused later.
The goal of this project is to investigate and determine the effective infusion strategy for
the wind turbine blade in order to achieve uniform resin distribution in shortest time
throughout the wind turbine blade design.
