Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for connecting two wind turbine blade parts, a method for manufacturing a wind turbine and a method for connecting two molded parts. Background Art
[0002] Modern wind turbine rotor blades are made of fiber-reinforced plastic. They typically consist of an airfoil with a rounded leading edge and a sharp trailing edge. The rotor blades are connected to the wind turbine hub at their blade roots. Furthermore, the rotor blades are connected to the hub via pitch bearings, which allow for variable pitching of the rotor blades. Long rotor blades are subject to high wind forces and, therefore, heavy loads.
[0003] Rotor blades can be made from two connected half-shells. As rotor blades become longer, it can be advantageous to manufacture rotor blades that are divided into two or more segments along the longitudinal axis of the blade (i.e., longitudinal segments). Such blade segments are also called spanwise segments. Furthermore, such spanwise segments can be cast separately and then joined together after casting. EP 2 432 972 B1 describes a method for assembling spanwise segments of a wind turbine blade.
[0004] Connecting these spanwise segments of a blade is a challenging task, as they may come from different molds. It is crucial that the blade tip is correctly positioned relative to the blade root and that the blade twists as designed and intended. If this is not the case, the loads across the blade may change, for example during power generation. This can lead to failure, such as the blade striking the tower. Summary of the Invention
[0005] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method for connecting two wind turbine blade sections.
[0006] Therefore, a method for connecting two wind turbine blade sections is provided. The method comprises the following steps: a) providing a first wind turbine blade section and a second wind turbine blade section, b) providing a plurality of first markings on the first blade section and a plurality of second markings on the second blade section, c) determining target positions of the first markings and the second markings, d) aligning the wind turbine blade sections with each other and comparing the actual positions of the first markings and the second markings with the target positions, and e) connecting the wind turbine blade sections together.
[0007] Thus, the shape accuracy of wind turbine blades can be improved. For example, two, three, or more blade sections can be connected together. In particular, each blade section includes two blade shells arranged opposite each other and connected to each other. Providing a marking on a blade section means setting a marking. Setting a marking can mean attaching a physical marking to a blade section, creating a physical marking on a blade section, or assigning a digital marking to a blade section. Aligning means moving one or both of the blade sections until the blade sections mate as desired.
[0008] In particular, the first blade part includes an outer surface on which a first marking is provided. Preferably, the second blade part includes an outer surface on which a second marking is provided. In particular, the first marking and the second marking are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the blade. For example, at least three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more first markings may be provided in step b). In particular, at least three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or more second markings may be provided in step b). Preferably, when the wind turbine blade parts are aligned with each other, the wind turbine blade parts are aligned side by side in the longitudinal direction of the blade.
[0009] According to an embodiment, the first wind turbine blade part is molded by means of a first mold and the second wind turbine blade part is molded by means of a second mold.
[0010] In particular, the first blade part and the second blade part are cast. An advantage of moulding the blade with the aid of at least two moulds is that longer blades can be produced. Preferably, the first mould is a multi-component mould, in particular a two-component mould, and / or the second mould is a multi-component mould, in particular a two-component mould. This has the advantage that after moulding the blade parts can be accessed without having to remove the blade parts from the lower part of the mould carrying the mould. Preferably, the first mould comprises a hollow space having the negative shape of the first blade part, and / or the second mould comprises a hollow space having the negative shape of the second blade part.
[0011] According to another embodiment, step b) is performed when the first wind turbine blade part is in the first mould and / or the second wind turbine blade part is in the second mould.
[0012] This has the advantage that the first blade part and / or the second blade part are substantially stress-free and therefore undeformed. Preferably, step b) is performed during or after the molding process. For example, when step b) is performed, the first blade part is located in the first mold and / or the second blade part is located in the second mold. This provides a large contact surface between the respective blade part and the respective mold.
[0013] According to another embodiment, the initial positions of the first marking and the second marking are determined during or directly after step b).
[0014] Preferably, the initial position is measured and recorded. Thus, even after processing or manipulation of the blade part, the desired shape of the blade part can be reproduced.
[0015] According to another embodiment, the target position of the marker is determined with the aid of the initial positions of the first marker and the second marker.
[0016] Preferably, the initial positions of the first marks relative to each other are set as the target positions of the first marks. In particular, the initial positions of the second marks relative to each other are set as the target positions of the second marks.
[0017] According to another embodiment, the target positions of the first marker and the second marker are determined by setting a relationship between an initial position of the first marker relative to an initial position of the second marker.
[0018] Alternatively or additionally, the target position is determined with the aid of a computer-generated position.For example, the initial position can be combined with the computer-generated positions of the markers to obtain the target positions of the first marker and the second marker.
[0019] According to another embodiment, during step d), the actual position of the first marking and / or the second marking is detected by means of a detection device.
[0020] This has the advantage that a precise alignment can be controlled.Preferably, the detection device comprises a sensor, in particular a plurality of sensors, and / or a camera, in particular a plurality of cameras.
[0021] According to another embodiment, step d) is performed by means of digital image correlation.
[0022] Digital image correlation and tracking is an optical method that uses tracking and image registration techniques to accurately measure image changes in 2D and 3D. This method can be used to measure full-field displacement and strain. Compared to strain gauges and extensometers, digital image correlation can provide both localized and averaged data, increasing the amount of information collected about fine details of deformation during mechanical testing. This has the advantage of enabling real-time measurement and alignment.
[0023] According to another embodiment, step d) is performed by means of a carrying device configured to move the first wind turbine blade part relative to the second wind turbine blade part in at least 3, 4, 5 or 6 degrees of freedom.
[0024] The carrying device may include a first support structure, in particular a first trolley or fork, configured to support the first blade part at one contact surface, and a second support structure, in particular a second trolley or fork, configured to support the first blade part at another contact surface. For example, the first support structure and the second support structure are configured to move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the blade when supporting the first blade part. In particular, the second blade part is fixed.
[0025] Preferably, the carrying device is configured to move the first blade part in the longitudinal direction of the blade and / or in the height direction and / or in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the carrying device is configured to rotate or tilt the first blade part around the longitudinal direction and / or the height direction and / or the lateral direction.
[0026] In particular, the first and second support structures comprise a lifting system for lifting the blade section. For example, the first and second support structures comprise a tilting system for tilting and / or twisting the blade section. Preferably, three, four, five, six or more support structures, in particular dollies or forks, are provided for supporting the first blade section.
[0027] According to another embodiment, the carrying device is configured to move the second wind turbine blade part relative to the first wind turbine blade part in at least 3, 4, 5 or 6 degrees of freedom.
[0028] The carrying device may comprise a third support structure, in particular a third trolley or fork, which is configured to support the second blade part at one contact surface, and a fourth support structure, in particular a fourth trolley or fork, which is configured to support the second blade part at another contact surface. For example, the third support structure and the fourth support structure are configured to move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of the blade when supporting the second blade part.
[0029] In particular, the third and fourth support structures comprise a lifting system for lifting the second blade section. For example, the third and fourth support structures comprise a tilting system for tilting and / or twisting the second blade section. Preferably, three, four, five, six or more support structures, in particular dollies or forks, are provided for supporting the second blade section.
[0030] According to another embodiment, in steps d) and / or e), the leading edges of the first wind turbine blade part and the second wind turbine blade part face downwards or upwards.
[0031] Thereby, the handling of the blade parts during steps d) and / or e) is improved.
[0032] According to another embodiment, the first marking and the second marking are digitally generated dots and / or are specifically provided on the respective wind turbine blade parts.
[0033] Digitally generated points have the advantage that the setting of these points can be performed, for example, automatically. Specifically set markings (ie physical markings) have the advantage that the points are visible without a device.
[0034] According to another embodiment, the first wind turbine blade part and the second wind turbine blade part are longitudinal segments of the wind turbine blade.
[0035] This means that when the blade is finished the segments are arranged one after the other along the longitudinal axis of the blade.In particular, the angle between the connecting surfaces of the wind turbine blade parts and the longitudinal axis of the wind turbine blade is at least 45°, in particular 90°.
[0036] Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a wind turbine is provided. The method comprises the following steps: a2) connecting two wind turbine blade parts according to the method for connecting two wind turbine blade parts, thereby providing a wind turbine blade, and b2) connecting the wind turbine blade to a hub of the wind turbine.
[0037] Hereby, a wind turbine having long wind turbine blades may be provided.Preferably, the method further comprises the step of providing a tower, a nacelle and a hub of the wind turbine.
[0038] A wind turbine currently refers to a device that converts the kinetic energy of wind into rotational energy, which can be converted by the device again into electrical energy.

[0040] This has the advantage that when providing the marking, the first part and the second part are substantially stress-free and therefore non-deformed. Thus, the shape accuracy of the two connected parts can be improved. The first part and the second part can be molded by means of casting.
[0041] Providing a marking on the first part means setting a marking. Preferably, during step b3), the first part is located in a first mold and / or the second part is located in a second mold. This provides a large contact surface between the respective parts and the respective molds. Preferably, the first part and the second part are connected to form a component.

[0058] Rotor 2 includes three blades 5 (i.e., wind turbine blades). Blades 5 are connected to a hub 6 of wind turbine 1. This type of rotor 2 can have a diameter ranging from, for example, 30 to 300 meters, or even larger. Blades 5 are subject to high wind loads. At the same time, blades 5 need to be lightweight. For these reasons, blades 5 in modern wind turbines 1 are made of fiber-reinforced composite materials, for example by casting. Glass or carbon fibers in the form of unidirectional fiber mats are typically used. Such blades 5 may also include wood and other reinforcement materials.
[0059] Figure 2 A blade 5 is shown. The blade 5 comprises an aerodynamically designed portion 7, shaped to optimally utilize wind energy, and a blade root 8 for connecting the blade 5 to a hub 6. Furthermore, the blade 5 comprises a blade tip 9 facing away from the blade root 8. The blade 5 extends in a longitudinal direction L, which points from the blade root 8 to the blade tip 9. The blade 5 has a length M, which may be, for example, between 15 m and 100 m, or even greater. The wind turbine blade 5 comprises a leading edge 10 and a trailing edge 11.
[0060] Figure 3A perspective view of a blade portion 12 (also referred to as a first blade portion) and a blade portion 13 (also referred to as a second blade portion) is shown. The blade portion 12 comprises a blade tip 9 and the blade portion 13 comprises a blade root 8. Furthermore, the blade portion 12 comprises a connecting surface 23 and the blade portion 13 comprises a connecting surface 24.

This has the advantage that blade portions 12, 13 are substantially stress-free and, therefore, undeformed.
[0064] After providing the markers 20, 22, the initial positions of the markers 20, 22 can be determined, for example, by measuring and recording the initial positions of the markers 20, 22. Alternatively, the target positions of the markers 20, 22 can be determined by setting a relationship between the initial position of the marker 20 and the initial position of the marker 22.
[0065] Alternatively or additionally, the target position can be determined using computer-generated positions. For example, the initial position can be combined with the computer-generated positions of the markers 20, 22 to obtain the target position of the markers 20, 22.
