AI Technical Summary
The transportation and handling of large wind turbine blades are challenging due to their significant size, requiring complex logistics and high transport costs, and existing solutions do not effectively address the issue of manufacturing and transporting large wind turbine components without pre-shaped preforms.
The method involves using flat, individually constructed modular fibre-panels that can be deformed on-site to achieve the desired curvature during the manufacturing process, eliminating the need for pre-shaped preforms and allowing for flexible design amendments without additional equipment, using a production tool to arrange and deform the fibre-panels in the blade shell mould.
This approach reduces transportation costs and complexity by utilizing easily stackable, flat fibre-panels that can be deformed to fit specific positions in the mould, enabling cost-effective and efficient production of wind turbine blades with varying designs.
