Abstract:
A wind turbine blade assembly includes a first blade half and a second blade half fixed to the first blade half, defining a blade interior therebetween. The wind turbine blade assembly includes a shear web includes at least one aperture formed therein. The wind turbine blade assembly includes at least one bulkhead attached to the shear web, wherein the shear web and the at least one bulkhead are disposed in the blade interior. In some embodiments the at least one bulkhead includes a frame and a removable lid in order to expose the blade interior and the lid is returnably fixable to the at least one bulkhead. In some embodiments the first and second bulkheads include fluid conduits disposed therethrough and are spaced from one another to define first and second air circulation zones.
