Abstract

Thermoplastic composites possess robust mechanical characteristics, flexibility, the capacity to be welded, recyclability, and a lightweight nature. Wind turbine blades are increasingly being designed to achieve higher power output, larger dimensions, and improved cost efficiency. Consequently, there is extensive research being conducted on the utilization of thermoplastic composites in wind turbine blades. This study provides an in-depth account of the research conducted on the optimization methods for designing wind turbine blades using thermoplastic composites. It also covers the manufacturing joining processes and the attributes associated with these materials. The text provides a comprehensive examination…
