Description
FLAT INDIVIDUALLY CONSTRUCTED MODULAR FIBRE-PANELS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF WIND TURBINE BLADESTECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade utilizing a plurality of individually constructed modular fibre-panels. Furthermore, the invention relates to a wind turbine blade manufactured according to the method according to the present invention.BACKGROUND
[0002] Wind is an increasingly popular source of renewable and clean energy causing limited pollution. Wind turbine blades are carefully designed to maximize efficiency and especially off-shore wind turbine blades exceed 80 or even 100 meters in length.
[0003] Wind turbine rotor blades are typically made from a fibre-reinforced polymer material, comprising a pressure side shell half and a suction side shell half, also called blade halves. The cross-sectional profile of a typical blade includes an airfoil for creating an air flow leading to a pressure difference between both sides. The resulting lift force generates torque for producing electricity.
[0004] As the length of wind turbine blade increases, the production of the blade requires more intricate processes and larger and more complicated production faculties on top of the huge issue arising from the need of transporting a 100-meter-long wind turbine blade from the production site to the installation site.
[0005] As the size of wind turbine blade has increased, the use of so called preforms for the production of the wind turbine blade has increased. A preform, is as the name suggests a pre-shaped or pre-formed arrangement of fibers, usually multiple layers of fibers, which has been bound and / or consolidated and then shaped or formed into a specific geometric shape for aligning with the blade mould, for later use as part of the fibre lay-up in the blade mould. The rationale for using preforms for blade manufacturing is to reduce cycle time in the blade mould.
[0006] Typically, multiple preforms will be used in manufacturing a wind turbine blade. This usually requires large production facilities for the manufacturing and storing of both the pre-shaped preforms and the materials needed for the production. Even more importantly the manufacturing of pre-shaped preforms in multiple different shapes and sizes is both expensive and time consuming, even more so if the pre-shaped preforms are not only of different sizes but also with different geometric profile, that is with different curvatures. Equipment for handling such various preforms will often take up a large space during storage and they are very difficult to transport.
[0007] Conventionally, turbine components for wind farms, in particular the wind turbine blades, are manufactured in permanent factories at fixed, central locations. The wind turbine components, in particular the wind turbine blades, are then transported to local locations at which the wind turbines are assembled and installed. Wind turbine blades often have a significant size, where the length of a modem wind turbine blade may for example be more than 80 meters. This makes them challenging to handle both during manufacturing of the blades and especially during transportation from the manufacturing plant to its destination or wind turbine site. Therefore, the distance and logistics for transporting the wind turbine blades from the fixed, permanent factories to the local installation sites may be long and complex, including needing special access to roads, such as closing down other traffic thereby increasing the overall transport costs.
[0008] One attempt to solve this problem is to preassemble the wind turbine components into larger units at dedicated locations, such as harbours, before they are transported to the final installation site. Similarly, the wind turbine blades may be manufactured in permanent factories at or near the harbour. However, handling and transporting of large wind turbine blades will still incur high transport costs.
[0009] WO2021 / 239954A discloses a method utilizing a specific production assembly for arranging a plurality of preforms in a wind turbine mould and a wind turbine blade produced by use of the production assembly. The disclosure focuses on the production assembly and is clear from the disclosure ad figures that the preforms will be pre-shaped and relatively large, with multiple variations in geometry, including their 3-dimensional structure or curvature. Thus, the pre-formed preformed disclosed are large and pre-shaped and therefore not suited for transport from the production site of the pre-shaped preforms to the production site of a wind turbine blade.
[0010] CN 113119503 A discloses a method of producing wind turbine blades by constructing a temporary factory at a selected location for two or more wind energy projects. Processing equipment and moulds for the production of the blade shells, spar caps and shear webs are then transported to the site and installed in the temporary factory. Further, assembly equipment and tools are installed in the temporary factory for assembling and processing the cured blade shell into its final profile. The finished wind turbine blade is then transported to a selected installation site. The lifting system installed in the factory can be used to reduce the overall height of the temporary factory in accordance with the local wind speed information.
[0011] However, neither prior art solutions solves the main issue of transportation of large structures, neither of already produced wind turbine blade, nor large elements required for the manufacturing of a wind turbine blade.SUMMARY
