Abstract

A feasibility study on the mass production of a small wind turbine blade using an injection molding process was conducted. The blade was divided into three sections suitable for injection molding, and the mold was designed and analyzed using Moldflow CAE S/W. The optimal feedstock material was selected through comparison and analysis of three candidate materials. A mold was manufactured to test the injection molding process and evaluate related parameters. The resulting blade was assembled with other components, and a generator was installed to assess its durability, safety, and performance under various conditions. The results indicated the feasibility of producing a blade for a small wind turbine through injection molding, which predicted higher productivity and lower costs compared to traditional manufacturing methods that rely heavily on manual labor.
