    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to spar caps for wind turbine rotor blades and methods of manufacturing same. The spar cap includes a plurality of plies having varying lengths that are arranged in a tapered configuration. Further, the tapered configuration includes at least an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion is configured for attachment to at least one of a pressure side or a suction side of the rotor blade. Further, one or more plies of the upper and lower portions tapers towards an intermediate ply configured between the upper and lower portions of the spar cap. In addition, the intermediate ply has a length that is shorter than the plies in the upper and lower portions.

    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 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.
