  • Patent number: 11819874
    Abstract: This invention relates to a dispenser device for and a method of applying a structural adhesive to an application surface on a wind turbine blade structure, wherein the dispenser device comprises a housing forming a reservoir configured to hold a surplus of structural adhesive during dispensing. The reservoir is connected to an inlet for supplying the structural adhesive and an outlet for dispensing the structural adhesive. The outlet may be a side opening arranged in an exchangeable housing part. The dispenser device may also comprise an adjustable mechanism connected to a plate member configured to be moved relative to the side opening. The operation of the adjustable mechanism is controlled via a control unit or a control element. The exchangeable housing part or adjustable mechanism enables the cross-sectional profile, the width and/or the height of the dispensed structural adhesive to be changed before or during dispensing.

  • Patent number: 11387699
    Abstract: A generator, which may be used in a wind turbine, has a first stationary component carrying a first winding configuration and a second rotating component carrying a second winding configuration. The second rotating component includes a body portion and a plurality of teeth spaced around and extending radially from the body portion. The second winding configuration is arranged in slots defined between adjacent teeth. A housing is arranged around and rotates with the body portion. A heat exchange circuit is arranged on the second rotating component and includes a coolant channel defined in the teeth; a pump; and a heat exchanger arranged on the housing so as to rotate with the housing, the heat exchanger transverse to a rotational direction of the housing.

  • Patent number: 11241762
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a sectional or modular wind turbine blade. The method comprises the steps of transporting at least two blade sections of said wind turbine blade and a mobile factory for joining blade sections to a location at or in proximity of a wind turbine site, positioning said blade sections with two blade section ends facing each other and supported on a platform in said mobile factory, moving said platform in relation to the ground at the location for levelling said platform, aligning said blade section ends in relation to each other, and establishing said sectional or modular wind turbine blade by joining blade sections in an area of connection at said blade section ends. The invention also relates to a system for establishing a sectional or modular wind turbine blade and a mobile factory for joining sections of a wind turbine blade.
