The aim of the EMLES project is to explore new sustainable materials for the creation of composites using an automated and easily replicable process.<\/p>\n Currently, the composite materials used in the manufacture of tidal energy blades have a low recyclability, which negatively affects their environmental impact. In addition, the manufacturing process is poorly automated, with low consistency in the quality of the parts and labour-intensive, which negatively affects the time, cost and quality of the product.<\/p>\n The EMLES project (Light, Efficient and Sustainable Tidal Energy), part of the SAIL2FUTURE initiative, is a collaboration between the companies INPRE COMPOSITES<\/a> , CRAMIX<\/a> and TSI<\/a>, together with the GAIKER technology centre<\/a>. Its aim is to research new sustainable materials for the manufacture of composites by means of an automated and replicable process, in order to offer high quality, efficient and environmentally friendly structures in the future.<\/p>\n The use of bio-based and recyclable resins with high strain at break and toughness will be investigated to improve the fatigue resistance of the blades. The study will focus on the mechanical properties of different resin matrices, sustainable coatings and natural fibres. Following the study, it will be put into practice by creating a composite to improve mechanical performance and enable the development of larger blades that generate more energy, with an optimised and clean manufacturing process.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.23.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”Study of sustainable materials for the manufacture of tidal blades” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.25.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Until now, as in the wind industry, the blades are generally made of fibreglass with epoxy resins.
