    Abstract: Provided is a method that enables an interior of a wind turbine blade to be safely inspected. A method of inspecting an interior of a wind turbine blade includes the steps of: placing, in the wind turbine blade, an inspection unit including a support frame, at least one wheel rotatably provided to the support frame, and inspection equipment attached to a front portion of the support frame in a traveling direction; and conveying the inspection unit from a blade root portion toward a blade tip portion of the wind turbine blade. The conveying step includes connecting at least one extension bar to a back end portion of the inspection unit, and sending the inspection unit by pushing the extension bar toward the blade tip portion.

    Abstract: A wind turbine blade is reinforced while suppressing possible stress concentration resulting from a load imposed on a blade root portion of the wind turbine blade in a flap direction. The wind turbine blade includes a blade main body extending from the blade root portion toward a blade tip portion and an FRP reinforcing layer formed so as to cover at least a part of the outer surface of the blade root portion of the blade main body. The FRP reinforcing layer includes a plurality of laminated fiber layers and a resin with which the plurality of fiber layers is impregnated. The FRP reinforcing layer is formed such that, in a cross section along a longitudinal direction of the blade main body, both ends of the plurality of laminated fiber layers in the longitudinal direction are tapered.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of repairing damage on a wind turbine blade with a simple method. The method of repairing a wind turbine blade is a method of repairing a wind turbine blade for a damage portion caused by a lightning strike, including the steps of: generating in advance a repairing member molded in a predetermined flat plate shape and solidified; determining a damage determination range defined in advance for the damage portion; and bonding the repairing member when a result of inspecting the wind turbine blade indicates that the damage portion is within the damage determination range. The step of generating the repairing member may include stacking glass fiber materials to generate the repairing member.
