Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of performing at least one post-moulding operation on a blade segment (70) of a wind turbine blade. The method comprises the providing a holding device (88) for supporting the blade segment (70) at its spar structure (62), the holding device (88) comprising a coupling member (90) for engaging the spar structure (62). The blade segment (70) is held with the holding device (88) such that the spar structure (62) of the blade segment (70) is engaged by the coupling member (90), and performing at least one post-moulding operation on the shell structure (82) of the blade segment (70).

Abstract: This invention relates to a bulkhead unit, a wind turbine blade comprising the bulkhead unit, a lifting device and methods of assembling and installing the bulkhead unit in the wind turbine blade. The bulkhead unit comprises a bulkhead element substantially extending in a radial direction and a frame structure attached to the bulkhead element. The frame structure provides support for the bulkhead element and additional components mounted to the frame structure. The frame structure comprises a plurality of frame elements which are interconnected to form a number of areas that are aligned with corresponding openings in the bulkhead element. The lifting device is used to lift the bulkhead unit into position and fix the bulkhead unit relative to the blade shell.

Abstract: A jointed wind turbine rotor blade includes a first blade segment and a second blade segment extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. A beam structure extends span-wise from the first blade segment into a receiving section formed in the second blade segment. The receiving section includes opposite spar caps and opposite interconnecting webs. The spar caps have a constant thickness along the receiving section where the spar caps overlap with the beam structure and are formed of a material or combination of materials along the receiving section to produce a desired stiffness of the spar caps along the receiving section. The webs have a reduced amount of conductive material adjacent to a chord-wise joint between the blade segments.

Abstract: A lifting bracket is disclosed. The lifting bracket includes a point of suspension realized to attach a load to be lifted to a lifting means; a lifting angle adjusting means realized to adjust the position of the point of suspension on the lifting bracket according to a specific lifting angle; and a coupling device for rigidly coupling the lifting bracket to the load to be lifted. Also described are a lifting assembly and a method of lifting a wind turbine generator transport assembly, including a wind turbine generator mounted on a wind turbine generator transport frame, at a specific lifting angle.
