Anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine masts

6 FAQs about [Anti-corrosion treatment of wind turbine masts]

How to prevent corrosion of offshore wind power generation structures?

In order to prevent corrosion of offshore wind power generation structures, quality standards and specifications of painting systems are defined based on the ISO 12944 series and corrosion prevention systems are applied to offshore structures such as petroleum and gas production platforms.

How to choose a corrosion protection coating system for offshore wind power?

The corrosion protection coating system used for each zone of an offshore wind power structure is based on the environmental conditions of each zone; for example, the influence of the high weather ability, temperature, salt spray and wetting should be considered for atmosphere-exposed zone.

What is an offshore wind farm corrosion protection plan (RP)?

The emphasis is put on the protection of support structures of offshore wind farms. The RP can also be used for design of corrosion protection for other structures in an offshore wind farm, such as offshore substations or meteorological masts. The RP does not cover design of wind turbine components such as nacelle, rotor, generator and gearbox.

Why do offshore turbines need anti-corrosion coatings?

The harsh environment offshore requires highly effective anti-corrosion coatings and the difference in exposure compared with onshore turbines is vast.

Can alternative coatings be used on offshore wind turbines?

The alternative coating systems investigated in this work all have specifications that qualify them for use on an offshore wind turbine tower and can be assumed to protect the steel towers for the designed life time of 20 years without need for maintenance.

Why is corrosion protection important for turbines?

The high salinity, humidity, and wave action around the splash zone create different problems, and corrosion protection must be much more robust. New technologies are required to provide protection for larger turbines in deeper water and harsher conditions, with new types of foundations.
