Abstract

This chapter describes the process for cost modelling non-crimp fabric (NCF) based composite structures. The chapter first looks at an overview of cost modelling techniques used in the composites industry and then focuses on the technical cost modelling (TCM) approach which is used in the case study. The case study presented investigates the cost centres for a 40. m wind turbine blade shell using NCF and a variety of manufacturing processes.

KeywordsCost analysis; Non-crimp fabric; Technical cost modelling (TCM); Wind energy; Wind turbine blades;
