Abstract
In this chapter, we consider the emerging issue of end-of-life wind turbines. A background on wind energy is presented, with a brief overview of current installed capacity and future market trends, including estimations of production volumes. Materials selection, turbine design and existing manufacturing techniques are covered, along with a discussion of the current research being conducted into new materials and processes that will naturally affect end-of-life considerations. Additionally, a typical wind turbine life cycle is examined. The subject of end-of-life wind turbine blades is approached, both from a current industry perspective and also in the light of research into the challenges and opportunities offered by the inevitable large increase in numbers of end-of-life turbine blades. The following end-of-life scenarios are examined: disposal, reusing and also recycling.
