Long-Lasting Protective Coating to Prevent Rusting in Offshore Wind Turbines

Renewable energy is produced from the winds out at sea by offshore wind farms. The saltiness in the air causes the wind turbines to rust. For these farms to be profitable, the turbines need to remain in action for 25 years at least, which would not possible without regular maintenance. A team of researchers from Fraunhofer have created a protective film, which will enhance the repair method. They are also looking to formulate an essential inspection criteria.
