A Method of Eliminating Ice on Wind Turbine Blade by Using Carbon Fiber Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a method to eliminate ice on wind turbine blade by using carbon fiber composites was put forward. To prove that this idea is feasible, a carbon fiber composite panel with its ends soaked by the conductive silver paste was fabricated and surface temperature of it at three levels of voltages was measured. The surface temperature of the composite panel increased significantly and finally retained a constant, which shows that the carbon fiber composites can be used to eliminate ice when the glass fabric composite blades are covered by the carbon fiber composites.
