Abstract

Research is being actively conducted to increase energy production by increasing the length of wind turbine blades. However, it is difficult to manufacture and transport large-scale blades. Various studies are being conducted on the concept of separate wind turbine blades considering transportation methods and maintenance. In this study, various methods of dividing blades and assembling the divided blades were reviewed. The position of the division when the blades are divided was analyzed.
