Title: Repair of wind turbine components
Inventor: JONATHAN SMITH
IPC: F03D1/00
Filed: 2015-03-24
Abstract: A method of repairing a subsurface defect comprising a void 40 in a composite wind turbine component is described. The method comprises: forming an inlet passage 70 extending between the surface of the component and the void, the inlet passage defining an inlet at the surface; forming an outlet passage 70 extending between the surface of the component and the void, the outlet passage defining an outlet at the surface; administering resin through the inlet; and causing the resin to flow from the inlet towards the outlet such that the resin substantially fills the void. The inlet and outlet passages are each formed as a respective groove that extends longitudinally between first 72 and second ends 74 defined at the surface of the component. Each groove has a first end portion 76 and a second end portion 78 defining the first and second ends respectively, and an intermediate portion 80 located between the first and second end portions and extending into the void. The first and second end portions of the respective grooves are chamfered such that the end portions have a depth relative to the surface of the component that increases progressively moving along the groove from the first and second ends towards the intermediate portion, in order to prevent cracks from forming in the wind turbine component as a result of the repair. The grooves can be formed by a rail cutter, and a vacuum bag may be placed over the inlet and outlet and a vacuum pump may be used to create negative pressure in the void to reduce the likelihood of air locks.
