MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631050622 A) filed by Jis College Of Engineering, Nadia, West Bengal, on April 21, for 'wind turbine blade waste to modular ev charging canopies with integrated renewable energy and aerodynamic load optimization.'

Inventor(s) include Rohan Chandra Das; Shubhrojit Modak; Pritam Saha; Debjit Mohanta; Dr. Anal Ranjan Sengupta; Dr. Sayan Chakraborty; and Dr. Abhisek Roy.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A modular electric vehicle (EV) charging canopy system is disclosed, comprising structural segments derived from decommissioned wind turbine blade waste. The system exploits the inherent mechanical strength and aerodynamic profile of the fiber-reinforced composite blade shells to provide a resilient shelter that minimizes wind uplift forces and facilitates efficient rainwater management. Integrated solar photovoltaic modules are disposed along the curved surfaces of the blade segments to generate renewable energy for EV charging and auxiliary infrastructure. The modular architecture of the system enables scalable deployment in various environments, including parking hubs and highways, while promoting circular economy principles by repurposing high-value composite materials that would otherwise be discarded."
