Abstract

A method of manufacturing a shell of a wind turbine blade is disclosed. The method of manufacturing includes laying one or more layers of fiber on a surface of mould to form the shell. A spar element is positioned at a pre-defined position on the one or more layers of fiber, and a vacuum bag is positioned or covered around the one or more layers of fiber and the spar element. The method further includes step of infusion of resin through the one or more layers of fiber and the spar element. The resin is subsequently allowed to cure to obtain the shell of the wind turbine blade. The spar element is thus adhered to the shell through resin infusion process.
