Composites for Renewable Energy
Date: Wednesday 10th June 2009
Venue: At the Civil and Computational Lecture Theatre, School of Engineering, Swansea University, UK
About: With environmental issues such as global warming and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves the development of renewable energy alternatives has become imperative. Composite materials are known for the light weight and high performance structures especially in aerospace, marine and motor sports. Due to their variability and flexibility there is great scope for the use of composites in wind and tidal turbines.
The Welsh Composites Centre (WCC) has recently 'evolved' from the Welsh Composites Consortium as the first Knowledge Transfer Centre at Swansea University. We would like to introduce ourselves and start our 2009 series of events with this exciting topic that should concern everybody.
The example of a Pembrokeshire-based company and their innovative wind turbine highlights the potential for Welsh companies to explore the opportunities and conceive ideas to develop their businesses in this sector and we will gain an insight into the special properties of composites and their suitability for extreme environments.
Target Audience: Industrialists, Engineers, Material Scientists, Students, Professionals and Enthusiasts!
