Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell comprising a first wind turbine blade shell part and a second wind turbine blade shell part. The method comprises: providing a blade mould for forming the first blade shell part; arranging fibre-reinforcement material into the blade mould; providing a first set of one or more fixtures at corresponding one or more fixture positions along a first edge of the blade mould; arranging a first premanufactured glue flange in the blade mould using the first set of fixtures as position references; providing a vacuum bag over the blade mould so as to form a mould cavity, the fibre-reinforcement material, the first glue flange, and the first set of fixtures being contained within the mould cavity; evacuating air from the mould cavity; providing resin into the mould cavity; and curing the resin. A corresponding system is provided.

Abstract: A method for assembling an integrated wind turbine blade shell, comprising: attaching and distributing cleats onto the first wind turbine shell part at a distance from the first edge of a first wind turbine blade part, wherein a ledge surface and a rail of each cleat define, together with the interior surface, a ledge for supporting a glue flange; securing a clamp tool to the anchor of each cleat; resting the separately manufactured glue flange on the ledge surface of each cleat; closing the first and second wind turbine blade shell parts; actuate the clamp tools to clamp the glue flange between the clamp head of each clamp tool and interior surface; and detaching and removing the clamp tools from the cleats.
