Energy and Sustainability, Reliability and Safety, Study of Energy Systems. The waste of blade material is expected to grow, with ~12% increase per year until around 2026, and then 41% per year until 2034. With the number of WTBs disposal increasing, most of them are left to accumulate in landfills. The compliance with safety assurance of WTBs by detecting structural changes during the manufacture and performing the monitoring of their integrity during the service life are effective tools for environmental sustainability. Thus, in order to guarantee safety, it is essential to evaluate object damage and determine its effects at an early stage. Inspection and maintenance activities should be applied to extend the service life of WTB. The prevention maintenance should be realised on a regular basis for a reliability-and-risk inspection strategy. The long-term goal is to develop reliable methods for testing, verifying and monitoring, which could estimate the severity of damage of any energy systems.
