Abstract: A male spar beam for mutually attaching a segmented wind turbine blade and, comprising: a leading-edge part comprising a second upper wall, a second lower wall, and a second shear wall connecting the second upper wall with the second lower wall, the leading-edge part; and a trailing-edge part comprising a first upper wall, a first lower wall, and a first shear wall connecting the first upper wall with the first lower wall. The leading-edge and trailing-edge parts being separately formed integrally in one piece, respectively. An end of the first lower wall is attached to an end of the second lower wall so that the first lower wall and the second lower wall form a lower spar cap of the male spar beam, and an end of the first upper wall is attached to an end of the second upper wall so that the first upper wall and the second upper wall form an upper spar cap of the male spar beam.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade comprising the steps of manufacturing a pressure shell halves and arranging a spar structure (62) within one of the shell halves. The spar structure (62) comprises two parts releasably coupled to each other. The method results in a segmented wind turbine blade for easy transportation and re-assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed is a part element for a wind turbine blade and a method for manufacturing a part element. The part element comprises a primary sheet having a primary first side and a primary second side. The part element comprises a first fibre thread extending in a primary first direction and forming a first primary loop on the primary first side of the primary sheet from a primary first L1 point to a primary first L2 point. The part element comprises a second fibre thread extending in a primary second direction and forming a second primary loop extending from a primary second L1 point at the primary first side of the primary sheet to a primary second L2 point at the primary first side. A first pre-shaped element is positioned between the first fibre thread and the second fibre thread.

Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade. The wind turbine blade includes a shell structure defining a leading edge and a trailing edge. The wind turbine blade also includes a longitudinal edge extension arranged to extend at least partially along the leading edge or at least partially along the trailing edge to modify an aerodynamic characteristic of the wind turbine blade. The longitudinal edge extension includes a center section and a peripheral section comprising attachment means, and the shell structure is arranged to engage with the attachment means to secure the longitudinal edge extension.

Abstract: A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade defining a pressure side and a suction side extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge. Further, the rotor blade assembly includes at least one structural feature secured within the rotor blade and spaced apart from the trailing edge to define a void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge. Moreover, the rotor blade assembly includes an adhesive filling the void between the pressure side, the suction side, and the trailing edge to provide an adhesive connection between the pressure side, the suction side, the trailing edge, and the structural feature(s). In addition, the adhesive contacts the structural feature(s) at an interface and defines a fillet profile.
