  • Monitoring system and method for monitoring a time period of a locking state of a rotor of a wind turbine and wind turbine
    Patent number: 11939957
    Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a time period of a locking state of a rotor of a wind turbine includes at least one motion sensor and at least one computing unit, wherein the computing unit is configured to receive at least one motion measurement from the at least one motion sensor and wherein the computing unit is configured to determine whether the rotor may remain in the locking state or the rotor should be unlocked based on the at least one motion measurement. A wind turbine having the monitoring system and a method for monitoring a time period of a locking state of a rotor of a wind turbine is also provided.

  • Wind turbine blade having a geometric sweep
    Patent number: 9920741
    Abstract: A swept wind turbine blade (20) includes a blade body (24) extending along a length between a root (26) and a tip (28) of the blade (20). A pitch axis (36) extends through the root (26) of the blade (20). A reference line (48) defines a deviation from the pitch axis (36) and corresponds to a swept shape of the blade (20) along its length. The reference line (48) has a zero sweep at the root (26), a zero slope at the root (26), and a positive curvature (66) along a segment within 25% of the length from the root (26) to the tip (28) of the blade (20).
