Wind turbine component, wind turbine, and method for manufacturing of a wind turbine component

A method for manufacturing of a wind turbine component, wherein the wind turbine component comprises a main body with a continuous and at least partly curved surface, comprising the steps of:

• providing a layer stack comprising a plurality of planar or substantially planar layers,
• wherein at least two of the layers are of a different material,
• wherein the layer stack comprises at least one inner layer and at least one outer layer,
• wherein at least one sensing layer and/or at least one active layer is provided between the at least one inner layer and the at least one outer layer, and wherein the at least one sensing layer and/or the at least one active layer and the at least one inner layer are embedded within and completely surrounded by the at least one outer layer,
• fabricating the main body from the layer stack, wherein the continuous and at least partly curved surface of the main body is formed in a vacuum forming process;
• providing the wind turbine component as a cover element;
• and
• providing the cover element as a bearing cover for covering a main bearing of a wind turbine or an edge protection cover for a leading edge or a trailing edge of a rotor blade.
