內容簡介The wind energy industry has quickly established itself as one of the world's fastest growing markets for composites. In 2007, production of wind turbine blades, the wind turbine's primary composite component, amounted to more than 43,000 units - 38 percent more than in 2006 and almost double the production in 2005. In the next 10 years, blade manufacturers are expected to more than triple current production. While wind turbine blade manufacturers are fast-tracking new plant construction to keep up (see Learn More," p. 49), many admit that building new factories, in the long run, is not the most cost-effective option. Some are already making near-term investments in dramatically different technologies, including automated production machinery, to cut cost, increase throughput and maintain or improve quality in existing production facilities, thus minimizing the need for new plant construction.
