Abstract: The disclosure relates to a fibre reinforcement fabric for a wind turbine component, the fabric comprising a first plurality of fibre bundles arranged in parallel in a warp direction and stitched together, the fabric having a first outermost fibre bundle defining a first fabric edge parallel to the warp direction and a second outermost fibre bundle defining a second fabric edge opposite the first fabric edge, the fabric having a first tapered portion including the first outermost fibre bundle, wherein a thickness of the fabric in the first tapered portion is tapering from a first fabric thickness to a second fabric thickness in a direction towards the first fabric edge. The disclosure also relates to a spar cap and a wind turbine blade shell part comprising such fabric or fabrics.

Abstract: A fabric and a method for making the same. The fabric includes a layer of unidirectionally oriented carbon fibre filaments sandwiched between a first layer of glass fibre rovings and a second layer of glass fibre rovings. The first layer of glass fibre rovings and the second layer of glass fibre rovings are linked by a connecting material.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a blade shell half of a pre-bent wind turbine blade by means of vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM), a fibre lay-up (16) is placed on a mould surface (14) and a distribution layer (24) is placed above the fibre lay-up (16). At least one segmentation area is provided in the distribution layer by providing at least one transversely extending flow barrier in the distribution layer (24) preventing or restricting longitudinal resin flow to the distribution layer. A longitudinally extending first feed channel (27) is placed above the distribution layer (24). The first feed channel (27) is divided into at least two feed channel sections, a feed channel section being arranged in each distribution layer segment. A vacuum bag (43) is arranged on top of the mould part (13) to define a mould cavity. The mould cavity (44) is evacuated and liquid resin is supplied to each feed channel section through a resin inlet to fill the mould cavity and impregnate the fibre lay-up.
