    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a composite laminate structure of a wind turbine blade part by means of resin transfer moulding, preferably vacuum-assisted resin transfer moulding. In a resin transfer moulding, fibre-reinforcement material is impregnated with liquid resin in a mould cavity. The mould cavity comprises rigid mould part having a mould surface defining a surface of the wind turbine blade part.The method comprises alternately stacking on the rigid mould part: i. a number of unidirectional fibre-reinforcement layers comprising electrically conductive fibres, such as carbon fibres, and ii. a flow-enhancing fabric layer for enhancing a flow of the resin during infusion of the fibre-reinforcement layers, the flow-enhancing fabric layer comprising an open-structured layer made of a first material, wherein the flow-enhancing fabric layer comprises a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, The flow-enhancing fabric layer further comprises filaments or bundles of fibres made of a second material, which is an electrically conductive material and which are arranged and configured to provide a conductive path from first electrically conductive fibres of a first fibre-reinforcement layer on a first side of the flow-enhancing layer to second electrically conductive fibres of a second fibre-reinforcement layer on a second side of the flow-enhancing layer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wind turbine blade. The wind turbine blade comprises a load carrying structure made of a fibre-reinforced polymer material. The load carrying structure comprises a plurality of stacked fibre layers or fibre mats in a thickness of the load carrying structure. The plurality of said stacked fibre layers or fibre mats are made of hybrid material comprising both carbon fibres and glass fibres and having a carbon fibre ratio. The carbon fibre ratio is defined as a volume of the carbon fibres divided by a total volume of the glass fibres and carbon fibres. At least a number of said stacked fibre layers or fibre mats have different carbon fibre ratios such that the carbon fibre ratio of fibre material varies through the thickness of the load carrying structure.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a composite laminate structure of a wind turbine blade part is performed by resin transfer moulding. The fibre-reinforcement material is impregnated with liquid resin in a mould cavity which includes a rigid mould part having a mould surface defining a surface of the wind turbine blade part. The method includes alternately stacking on the rigid mould part: i) a number of fibre-reinforcement layers including electrically conductive fibres and ii) a flow strip layer in form of a layer of flow strips having a strip width and which are arranged so as to form voids having a void width between two juxtaposed strips. The method includes sealing a second mould part against the rigid mould part in order to form the mould cavity, optionally evacuating the mould cavity, supplying a resin to the mould cavity, and curing the resin to form the composite laminate structure.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for detecting a fibre misalignment in an elongated structure, such as a wind turbine blade component. The elongated structure has a length along a longitudinal direction and comprises a plurality of stacked reinforcing fibre layers. The plurality of fibre layers comprises fibres having an orientation aligned, unidirectionally, substantially in the longitudinal direction. The method comprises scanning the elongated structure along at least a part of the length by emitting an x-ray beam in an angle compared to the orientation of the fibres. The method comprises detecting scattered rays, and determining an intensity of the detected scattered rays. The method comprises estimating a size of the fibre misalignment based on the determined intensity.

    Abstract: A system and method for the manufacture of a wind turbine blade component is described, preferably a shear web component for a wind turbine. The shear web is manufactured by using a forming tool to define a flange-shaped cavity at an end of a web member. A resin is injected into the cavity and cured to form a flange cast onto the web member. The forming tool is subsequently removed from the web member to provide a component having a load-bearing flange formed from a cured resin.
