Method and system for transporting wind turbine blades

A modular system for transporting wind turbine blades in at least two different spatial arrangements comprising two or more root end transport frames having a height H for supporting the root end, wherein H&#x3c;D (D=bolt circle diameter), and two or more first tip end transport frames having a height Hfor supporting the blade towards the tip end, each first tip end transport frame has a base frame and a support bracket provided on top of the base frame, wherein each first tip end transport frame is stackable on top of a root end transport frame and vice versa, so the system is operable to stack successive blades in an alternating root end to tip end arrangement. The first tip end transport frame is replaceable with a second end transport frame that increase the inter-blade spacing, or with a tip end or a root end distance piece.

Modular system for transporting wind turbine blades

A transport system for transport of blade shell half parts of a wind turbine blade, the blade shell half parts each having a tip end and a root end, wherein the transport system comprises a frame assembly comprising a first transport frame; and a first set of one or more separator elements, the first set of separator elements including a first primary separator element configured to separate a first blade shell half part and a second blade shell half part neighbouring the first blade shell half part such that the second blade shell half part is at least partly stacked above the first blade shell half part. Further, a blade shell half part system comprising the transport system and a plurality of blade shell half parts and related method is disclosed.

System for transport and/or storage of wind turbine blade shell half parts and related method

A transportation and storage system for at least two wind turbine blades include a first wind turbine blade and a second wind turbine blade is described. The wind turbine blades each have a root end and a tip end. The system includes a packaging system adapted to place the first wind turbine blade so that the tip end of the first wind turbine blade points in a first direction, with the tip end of the second wind turbine blade pointing in a second direction, which is substantially opposite to the first direction. The tip end of the second wind turbine blade extends beyond the root end of the first wind turbine blade, and the tip end of the first wind turbine blade extends beyond the root end of the second wind turbine blade, when the first and the second wind turbine blades are arranged in the packaging system.

Method and system for transporting and storing at least two wind turbine blades

The present invention relates to a transportation and storage system for a wind turbine blade (), the system comprising a root frame assembly and a tip frame assembly. The frame assemblies comprise lateral frame parts () each having a top member (), a bottom member (), a center beam (), a first and a second upper inclined beam () and a first and a second lower inclined beam (). The present invention also relates to the use of the system for transporting and/or storing one or more wind turbine blades.

Transportation and storage system for a wind turbine blade

The present invention relates to a modular transportation and storage system for a wind turbine rotor blade comprising a first and a second tip end receptacle () for supporting the blade, a tip end frame () for receiving any of the first and second tip end receptacles, wherein the first tip end receptacle () is adapted for supporting the blade () in a substantially vertical position, and wherein the second tip end receptacle () is adapted for supporting the blade in a substantially horizontal position.

Modular transportation and storage system for a wind turbine rotor blade

A transportation and storage system for at least two wind turbine blades and comprising a first wind turbine blade and a second wind turbine blade is described. The wind turbine blades each having a root end and a tip end, said system comprising a packaging system that is adapted to placing the first wind turbine blade so that the tip end of the first wind turbine blade points in a first direction, and placing the second wind turbine blade so that the tip end of the second wind turbine blade points in a second direction, which is substantially opposite to the first direction. The tip end of the second wind turbine blade extends beyond the root end of the first wind turbine blade, and the tip end of the first wind turbine blade extends beyond the root end of the second wind turbine blade, when the first and the second wind turbine blades are arranged in the packaging system.

There is described a system and apparatus for the manufacture of a wind turbine blade where portions of a blade, preferably blade half shells, are formed in suitable molds, before transferal to a post-molding station where post-molding operations can be performed. The blade shells are formed in the mold to have integrated flanges which facilitate easy handling of the blade shells during subsequent manufacturing operations. There is also described a blade cradle of a post-molding station to receive a wind turbine blade shell, where a lifting jack apparatus can be located within the blade cradle structure for the application of a lifting force to a surface of a blade shell received in the cradle, to facilitate access to all sections of the surface of the blade shell.

Wind turbine blade manufacturing system and method

A method of manufacturing fiber-reinforced parts, such as blades, for wind power plants, whereby a number of layers () of material comprising fiber, such as glass fiber mats, are arranged on a curved surface () of an elongated () open mold () wherein each layer () of material is arranged on said curved surface () as pre-shaped mats () having a form substantially corresponding to an intended area of application such that any need for further modification of or cutting in said material is substantially eliminated.

Method of manufacturing a laminated part from fibre material

A blade cart for a wind turbine blade for use during the manufacturing of such a blade is described. The cart presents an adjustable and adaptable support for the tip end of a blade after the blade is removed from the mold. The cart is rotatable, and comprises selectively actuatable and/or removable support surfaces to provided easy access to the surfaces of the molded blade for the performance of post-molding operations, e.g. blade surface grinding, coating, etc.

Blade cart for a wind turbine blade
