Abstract: A method for assembling a wind turbine blade is disclosed. The method includes providing a root end element 70 of the wind turbine blade 10, providing a tip end element 72 of the wind turbine blade 10, and inserting one or more alignment members 82 at pre-defined positions in at least one of the root end elements 70 and the tip end element 72. The one or more alignment members 82 is of a pre-defined shape. The method further includes aligning the one or more members 82 with a receiver portion of at least one of the root end elements 70 and the tip end element 72 in which the one or more alignment members 82 is not inserted, along a joining portion. Then, joining the root end element 70 and the tip end element 72 wherein, during joining, the one or more alignment members 82 align along a longitudinal axis of at least one of the root end elements 70 and the tip end element 72.

Abstract: A wind turbine blade includes a leading edge protection element attached to the leading edge of the wind turbine blade. The leading edge protection element extends in a longitudinal direction between an outboard end and an inboard end and includes an attachment surface mounted to an exterior surface of the blade, an exterior surface opposite the attachment surface, a first section extending from the leading edge and along a part of the pressure side of the wind turbine blade to a first transverse end at a first position on the pressure side of the blade, and a second section extending from the leading edge and along a part of the suction side of the wind turbine blade to a second transverse end at a second position on the suction side of the blade.

Abstract: A method for assembling a component, such as a wind turbine blade, includes providing a first element of the component and providing a second element of the component. An alignment member is inserted at a predefined position in one of the first or second elements, the alignment member having a predefined shape. The alignment member is positioned within a receiver portion of the other of the first or second elements along a joining portion, and the first and second elements are then joined. During the joining process, the alignment member aligns along a longitudinal axis of at least one of the first or second elements.
