METHODS OF MANUFACTURING ROTOR BLADES OF A WIND TURBINE

摘要

Methods of manufacturing rotor blades for a wind turbine and rotor blades produced in accordance with such methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a first spar cap of the rotor blade from a first resin material. Another step includes placing the first spar cap within a first shell mold of the rotor blade. A further step includes infusing a second resin material into the first shell mold to form a first shell member of the rotor blade. Thus, at least a portion of the first spar cap is infused within the first shell member. Further, the second resin material is different than the first resin material. The method also includes infusing the second resin material into a second shell mold to form a second shell member of the rotor blade. Another step includes bonding the first and second shell members together so as to form the rotor blade.

1. A method of manufacturing a rotor blade of a wind turbine, the method comprising:
forming a first spar cap of the rotor blade from a fiber reinforced laminate composite and a first resin material; placing the first spar cap within a first shell mold of the rotor blade; placing a fiber reinforced laminate composite into the first shell mold atop the first spar cap and infusing a second resin material into the first shell mold so as to form a first shell member of the rotor blade such that a portion of the first spar cap is bonded with the first shell member, wherein the second resin material is different than the first resin material; placing a fiber reinforced laminate composite into a second shell mold and infusing the second resin material into the second shell mold so as to form a second shell member of the rotor blade; and, bonding the first and second shell members together so as to form the rotor blade.
