ABSTRACT:
A wind blade spar cap laminate repair for wind turbine rotor blades, a repair kit to repair spar cap laminate damage, and a method of repairing damage on wind turbine rotor blades is provided. The wind blade spar cap laminate repair includes a prepared surface, an adhesive region disposed on the prepared surface, and a repair disposed on the adhesive region, wherein the adhesive region sufficiently bonds the repair to the prepared surface to substantially match the mechanical properties of the bulk of the wind turbine rotor blade.
