Wind turbine blade with an integrated lightning conductor

摘要

A method is provided for manufacturing a wind turbine rotor blade in which the blade is formed as a laminated structure by laying a composite material of fibre reinforcement material and/or core material in a mould defining the shape of the blade; evacuating the mould after laying the composite material; introducing a liquid polymer into the evacuated mould and wetting the composite material; curing the liquid polymer after the composite material has been wetted; and removing the mould after curing the liquid. At least one lightning conductor is integrated into the composite material before wetting it with the liquid polymer. Moreover, a wind turbine rotor blade made from a single laminated structure is provided with at least one lightning conductor is integrated into the laminated structure.

1. A wind turbine rotor blade, comprising:
a single laminated structure comprising a blade shell with a suction side and a pressure side and a shear web connecting the suction side to the pressure side, the shear web extending longitudinally from the section side to the pressure side, a first lightning conductor integrated into the single laminated structure, wherein the first lightning conductor is at least partly a braided conductor.
