Modeling of Bicomponent Mixing System Used in the Manufacture of Wind Generator Blades

Abstract

The clean energy use has increased during the last years, especially, electricity generation through wind energy. Wind generator blades are usually made by bicomponent mixing machines. With the aim to predict the behavior of this type of manufacturing systems, it has been developed a model that allows to know the performance of a real bicomponent mixing equipment. The novel approach has been obtained by using clustering combined with regression techniques with a dataset obtained during the system operation. Finally, the created model has been tested with very satisfactory results.
