Abstract: Carbon wind turbine blade is one of the important directions of wind turbine blade, this paper aims to carry out the process simulation analysis of carbon spar cap by using PAM-RTM. The permeability test of biaxial glass fabric was conducted in order to provide three-directional permeability parameters. The process simulation analysis and the verification test of 5 meter carbon spar cap have been accomplished. After the contrasting and comparison, the deviation of total infusion time between the simulation result and verification result is about +18%. Meanwhile, the maximum value of flow front deviation between the simulation result and verification result is +18%. Also, no defect was found after observation by cutting.

Key words: carbon spar cap, PAM-RTM, process simulation analysis
