Apparatus for determining orientation of a segment of a wind turbine blade and a method thereof

A system for determining orientation of a tip segment and a root segment of a wind turbine blade, the system comprising:

• a first tool assembly for determining orientation along an airfoil region of the tip segment, the first tool assembly comprising:
• at least one first elongated member;
• a first support plate provided at one end of the first elongated member;
• a first measuring plate at another end opposite to the one end of the first elongated member;
• a plurality of first markers disposed on the airfoil region wherein, each of the plurality of first markers is indicative of one or more of multiple parameters to determine the orientation of the tip segment of the wind turbine blade;
• a second tool assembly for determining orientation of an airfoil region of the root segment of the wind turbine blade, the second tool assembly comprising:
• at least one second elongated member;
• a second support plate provided on one end of the second elongated member;
• a second measuring plate at another end opposite to the one end of the second elongated member;
• a plurality of second markers disposed on the airfoil region wherein, each of the plurality of second markers is indicative of one or more of multiple parameters to determine the orientation of the root segment of the wind turbine blade.

A method for determining orientation along an airfoil region of a segment of a wind turbine blade, the method comprising:

• positioning a tool assembly adjacent to the airfoil region of the segment of the wind turbine blade, wherein the tool assembly comprises an elongated member with a support plate;
• aligning the support plate with the segment of the wind turbine blade, by an aperture in the support plate;
• aligning a measuring plate of an airfoil profile with the airfoil region of the segment of the wind turbine blade, wherein the measuring plate is provided at another end opposite to the one end of the elongated member;
• measuring multiple parameters of the segment of the wind turbine blade by a plurality of markers disposed on the airfoil region to determine the orientation of the segment of the wind turbine blade.
