    Abstract: A method for in-line processing of pre-formed pultruded products may generally include transporting a pre-formed pultruded product in a processing direction along a travel path, wherein the product includes a combination of fibers and resin and wherein the product extends lengthwise in the processing direction and defines an initial width in a widthwise direction. The method may also include roughening an outer surface of the pre-formed pultruded product as the product is being transported in the processing direction along the travel path and cutting the pre-formed pultruded product lengthwise in the processing direction to form first and second pultruded plates as the product is being transported in the processing direction along the travel path, wherein each of the first and second pultruded plates defines a width in the widthwise direction that is less than the initial width of the product.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a rotor blade for a wind turbine is disclosed. The rotor blade may include a body extending between a blade root and a blade tip. The body may define a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. In addition, the body may define a chord line extending between the leading and trailing edges. The rotor blade may also include an airfoil modifier coupled to at least one of the pressure side or the suction side of the body. The airfoil modifier may define an end surface disposed adjacent to the trailing edge. At least a portion of the end surface may extend at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the chord.

    Abstract: A wind turbine rotor blade may generally include a blade root, a blade tip opposite the blade root and a body shell extending between the blade root and the blade tip. The body shell may include a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge and may define an outer shell surface. The rotor blade may also include a leading edge cap coupled to the body shell at the leading edge. The leading edge cap may be formed from a fiber-reinforced composite including an inner surface extending directly adjacent to the body shell along a portion of the outer shell surface and an outer surface opposite the inner surface. The fiber-reinforced composite may include a plurality of fibers surrounded by a thermoplastic resin material, with the thermoplastic resin material extending throughout the fiber reinforced composite from the inner surface to the outer surface.

    Abstract: The present subject matter is directed to a rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine having a pultruded component at an interface of a shear web and a spar cap. More specifically, the rotor blade assembly includes an upper shell member having an upper spar cap configured on an internal surface thereof and a lower shell member having a lower spar cap configured on an internal surface thereof. A shear web extends between the spar caps along a longitudinal length of the blade. Further, the shear web includes a first end and a second end. The first end is secured to the upper spar cap at a first interface and the second end is secured to the lower spar cap at a second interface. In addition, the shear web includes at least one pultruded component configured at either or both of the first or second interfaces between the first and second ends and the upper and lower spar caps, respectively.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a pre-formed, continuous structural component for use in assembling a modular rotor blade for a wind turbine. Further, the structural component provides support to the modular rotor blade during operation. The pre-formed structural component includes a root portion and a body portion. The root portion is configured for mounting the structural component to a blade root section of the rotor blade. The body portion is configured to extend in a generally span-wise direction. Further, the body portion defines a predetermined cross-section having a flatback portion with a first end and a second end. In addition, the first and second ends each have a flange extending perpendicularly therefrom. Thus, each flange defines a mounting surface for one or more blade segments.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for manufacturing a thermoset component having a weldable thermoplastic interface. The method includes forming a polymerized thermoplastic component having a removable protective layer on a portion thereof. Another step includes placing a plurality of dry plies and the thermoplastic component into a mold of the thermoset component with the removable protective layer facing an outer surface of the thermoset component mold. Thus, the method further includes co-infusing the dry plies and thermoplastic component with a resin material so as to form the thermoset component having a weldable thermoplastic interface.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed a method for repairing a rotor blade of a wind turbine. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the rotor blade may be constructed, at least in part, of a thermoplastic material reinforced with at least one fiber material. Thus, the method includes identifying at least one defect on the rotor blade. For example, in certain embodiments, the defect(s) as described herein may include a crack, creep, void, hole, distortion, deformation, scratch, or any other blade defect. The method also includes applying at least one of heat, pressure, and/or one or more chemicals to the defect(s) for a predetermined time period until the defect is repaired.
