  • Rotor blade for a wind turbine, and wind turbine field
    Patent number: 10227963
    Abstract: Rotor blade for a wind turbine, including a main blade part (4) with a blade tip (8). The blade tip (8) results in a blade tip vortex downstream of the rotor blade (1) during operation. The blade tip (8) includes a vortex de-stabilizer (7) which is configured to de-stabilize the blade tip vortex during operation of the rotor blade (1). Furthermore, a wind turbine field including a plurality of wind turbines positioned in a grid. One or more wind turbines on a boundary of the predetermined grid (e.g. a front row of the grid) are provided with at least one such rotor blade (1).
