Wind power is a green new energy source with abundant energy reserves and huge market prospects. Looking around the world, wind power is becoming an emerging energy source that countries are competing to develop. Under the background of green, low-carbon and digital transformation, China has vigorously developed the wind power industry. More and more wind farms have been built, and the cleaning and maintenance of wind turbines have become increasingly prominent. The solutions provided by Shengtong Intelligent Laser can improve the service life of wind power equipment and reduce the cost of power generation, which will help the high-quality development of wind power field.

Laser cleaning technology in the field of wind power

Fan blades are one of the core components of wind turbines, which mainly rely on wind to drive the blades to rotate to promote generator power generation. However, the surface of the blades will be covered with a lot of dirt for a long time, which will increase the friction resistance between the blades and the air when they rotate, and reduce the utilization rate of wind energy. At the same time, the surface of the blades is covered with a lot of dirt, which is easy to cover up the defects on the surface of the blades, which is not conducive to the discovery of hidden dangers of the blades and leads to the occurrence of safety accidents. Therefore, regular cleaning of the dirt on the surface of the fan blades is one of the most effective ways to improve the utilization rate of wind

The traditional cleaning method of fan blades is to use manual aerial work, cleaning with brushes and cleaning liquids, which is not only inefficient and cannot achieve the desired cleaning effect, but also prone to corrosion of the organic paint surface due to long-term use of chemicals. There are also drawbacks such as long cleaning cycle, low accuracy, consumables consumption, environmental pollution, shortening the service life of blades, and manual aerial work, which pose a huge safety hazard.

Unlike traditional manual aerial work, laser cleaning is safer and more efficient. It does not require any additives during the operation, does not produce wastewater, pollutes the environment, and the equipment has stable performance, smooth operation and convenient operation. So what are its unique advantages?

Intelligent mechanized operation: The laser cleaning system is mounted on the robot to achieve contactless intelligent mechanized cleaning.

Green, safe and pollution-free: no need for cleaning agents will not cause secondary pollution, and the use of robots is safe and convenient.

III. Efficient and accurate automation: automatically identify the material to be baptized, respond flexibly to special-shaped workpieces, focus and position accurately independently, and achieve high cleaning efficiency.

As an advanced technology, laser cleaning is considered to be the "disruptor" of the traditional cleaning industry. It has the advantages of high cleanliness, high efficiency, non-contact, and green environmental protection. Cleaning objects include steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, glass, ceramics, and composites. The application industries cover automotive manufacturing, hardware molds, shipbuilding, rail transit, aerospace, and cultural relics protection. In fact, in the field of wind power, laser cleaning also has excellent performance.

At present, the wind power industry has become one of the national strategic emerging industries, and has achieved rapid development under the dual role of industrial policy guidance and market demand-driven. Laser cleaning is regarded as "the most promising green cleaning technology in the 21st century", and it is bound to gradually replace traditional cleaning processes in the future and become an indispensable technology for cleaning and maintenance in the industrial field.
