Renewables
The wave, wind and tidal power markets are just three of the renewable energy sectors that have been huge success stories for composite manufacturers like us. Converting water and wind based renewables to electrical current has long highlighted various materials challenges, and with the collection of such energy taking place across a number of hostile environments, the application of composites has proven invaluable. The lightweight, high strength and fatigue resistant qualities of reinforced carbon fibre makes the capturing of wind power particularly efficient. Carbon fibre is 70% lighter than steel and 40% lighter than aluminium, and this excellent strength to weight ratio not only improves safety and design flexibility but ensures optimal energy absorption.
