Joined rotor blades having internal support structures with different fiber orientations for pin reinforcement

Applicants

Abstract

A rotor blade for a wind turbine includes first and second blade segments extending in opposite directions from a chord-wise joint. The blade segments each have at least one shell component defining an airfoil surface and an internal support structure. The inner support structure of the first blade segment comprises a beam structure which is structurally connected with the inner support structure of the second blade segment via the receiving section. The rotor blade also includes one or more pin joints positioned on at least one of the internal support structures of the blade segment. Further, at least one of the internal support structures is at least partially constructed of a resin material having a plurality of fibers cured therein. The fibers are arranged with different fiber orientations along the span of the rotor blade at the location of the pin joint(s).
