Wind turbines

This article investigates the physicochemical properties of the high-entropy alloy MoNbTaVW and its potential application in strain gauge sensors for structural health monitoring of composite constructions, particularly wind turbines. The material’s suitability for accurate mechanical tension measurements is analyzed, taking into account its high thermal stability, resistance to corrosion, and tolerance to radiation exposure. It is demonstrated that MoNbTaVW maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures, outperforming conventional metals commonly used in sensing systems.

Typical differences between horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines are analyzed after various eligibility criteria; the advantages and faults of each construction are indicated; the expediency of their development and exploitation in order to increase energy independence of our country are substantiated.
