    摘要: A wind turbine blade comprising first and second adjacent blade sections arranged end to end along the length of the blade. Each section comprises an aerodynamic fairing and a spar. Each spar comprises a shear web extending across the fairing and a pair of spar caps, one at either end of the shear web. Each spar cap in the first section has a different cross-sectional shape and/or material from the respective spar cap in the second section and wherein the spar cap in the first section is joined to the respective spar cap in the second section via a connection piece. Each connection piece is a pre-cured component extending along the length of the blade from a first inclined end configured to connect to a first complimentary inclined end of a spar cap of the first blade section and a second inclined end.

    摘要: A composite member comprises first and second elongate composite elements. Each has a wedge shaped end with a complimentary tapered end surface. At least one of the components is formed of a stack of fiber layers impregnated in resin, with the tapered end surface being formed by each fiber layer extending longitudinally progressively further than the adjacent layer towards the thin end of the wedge at which the fiber layers have the greatest longitudinal extent. The components are joined at their tapered ends by an adhesive, and the properties of the cured composite material of the at least one component and/or the properties of the adhesive are different in the vicinity of the thin end of the wedge as compared to the rest of the tapered surface in order to reduce the stress concentrations in this region.

    摘要: A wind turbine blade which is at least 45 m long. The blade has a main axis in the lengthwise direction from root to tip and an aerodynamic shell surrounding a spar which extends in a lengthwise direction along a substantial proportion of the blade at least a portion of the half of the shell closest to the tip. The blade is reinforced by high stiffness fibers having a Young's modulus to density ratio of greater than 50 GPa/(g·cm−3), and an electrical resistivity of greater than 1010 Ω·cm. The fibers are biaxial with a first axis angled with respect to the main axis at an acute angle and a second axis angled with respect to the main axis at an acute angle in the opposite sense to the first angle.

    摘要: A wind turbine rotor comprising a hub (1) from which a plurality of blades (2) project to a radius of at least 50 meters. Each blade comprising a hollow fairing supported by a central spar. Each blade has a thickness t at a radius r; characterized in that when r=0.5 R, t>0.3 T, where R is the radius of the blade and T is the thickness of the blade at the root end. By being thicker for a greater proportion of the blade, the aerodynamic performance of this part of the blade is worse, but this is more than compensated for as it allows better aerodynamic performance where it matters more, namely at the outer part of the blade. It also allows larger blades to be provided.
