Abstract
Provided is a method of manufacturing a rotor blade of a wind turbine, the method including: placing fiber material on a shape forming surface; arranging phase change material being in a first state at at least one predetermined first region and/or arranging phase change material being in a second state at at least one predetermined second region; soaking the fiber material with resin to be in thermal contact with the phase change material at the first region and/or second region; during a crosslinking reaction for crosslinking the resin: absorbing heat generated within the resin by the phase change material at the first region; and/or releasing heat from the phase change material toward the resin at the second region.
