  • Patent number: 11959454
    Abstract: A method for assembling blade parts of a wind turbine blade includes the steps of: obtaining information about a connection area of a blade part, at least one of selecting, customizing and manufacturing an adaptor piece depending on the obtained information about the connection area of the blade part, wherein the adaptor piece serves to connect the blade part with at least another blade part, and connecting the blade part to the adaptor piece. Independently manufactured blade parts of a wind turbine blade are assembled in a manner such that the assembled blade comes as close as possible to a single-casted blade.

  • Publication number: 20230391035
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a wind turbine blade having a blade body including a body part and a tip part, the blade being produced by using a mold, wherein a prefabricated tip part having a first connection interface is arranged adjacent to the mold for producing the body part, whereby building elements for building the body part are arranged in the mold providing a second connection interface which corresponds to and connects to the first connection interface, whereafter both connection interfaces are fixed by applying a fixing agent and curing it.

  • Publication number: 20230347600
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade includes the steps of: a) arranging a first pre-casted blade segment adjacent to a second pre-casted blade segment, b) arranging a fiber lay-up in a connection region between the first pre-casted blade segment and the second pre-casted blade segment, c) covering the connection region with a vacuum cover, d) applying vacuum to a space covered by the vacuum cover, and e) infusing the connection region with a resin and curing the resin. Manufacturing the wind turbine blade by connecting pre-casted segments with each other by vacuum-assisted infusion of resin of added fibers and curing the resin simplifies the manufacturing process. This is in particular the case for very large blades.
