Abstract
A method of forming a wind turbine component, the method including forming a segment (10, 12) by impregnating a portion (18, 20) of a fiber reinforcement (50) with a thermoset resin (60) up to a boundary (56), curing the thermoset resin, and leaving unimpregnated fiber reinforcement (22) extending from the boundary. The component may then be assembled by impregnating and joining the unimpregnated fiber reinforcement of two such segments.
Claims23
A method of forming a wind turbine component, the method comprising forming a segment by impregnating a portion of a fiber reinforcement disposed in a mold with a thermoset resin up to a boundary without impregnating a portion of the fiber reinforcement extending from the boundary, and curing the thermoset resin, thereby leaving unimpregnated fiber reinforcement extending from the boundary.
