TPI Composites: The Making of a Wind Turbine Blade

When:  Feb 16, 2022 from 01:00 AM to 03:00 AM (UTC)
Associated with  Greater El Paso Section
The ASQ1401 February Member Meeting will feature Larry Estorga, plant manager for TPI Composites' Ciudad Juárez facility presenting "TPI Composites: The making of a Wind Turbine Blade."

To improve wind turbine efficiency, each new design increases the size of the turbine blade. In 2021, wind turbine blades reached 262 feet (80m) in length. For reference, wind turbine blades manufactured in 2007 were 151 feet (46m) in length.



The Juarez manufacturing facility is 1.1 million square feet. Such space is required to accommodate producing these turbine blades. Reliable, high quality processes are necessary to ensure that the turbine blades can perform efficiently while enduring years of high stress and fatigue loads.



This is going to be an interesting presentation about a really important product in the electrical energy production industry. What TPI Composites is doing has made wind energy more economical to produce than coal-fired energy.
