Patent number: 10316817Abstract: A manufacturing method is described for a wind turbine blade, where layers of fiber material are laid up in a mold to form a portion of the blade structure. The fiber layers are infused with a resin which is subsequently cured to form the hardened blade structure. Some of the layers of fiber material are arranged so that a portion of the layers are kept resin-free during the infusion and curing steps, so that the fiber layer extends freely out from the external surface of the blade, preferably at the blade trailing edge, to provide a flexible blade trailing edge to reduce blade operational noise.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Michael Klitgaard, Christian Frank Andersen, Morten Ravn, Casper Skovby, Simon Berg Bojesen, Peter Baek

Patent number: 9909562Abstract: A control method for a wind turbine, in particular for a wind turbine blade is described. The control method makes use of the blade mode shapes, or natural vibration shapes, of the blade to detect the excitement level of the blade natural vibrations, and controls active lift devices on the blade in an effort to reduce the excitement levels, to reduce loading in the blade and the overall wind turbine structure. There is also provided a method of designing a wind turbine blade for use in such a method.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2012Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: LM WP PATENT HOLDING A/SInventors: Peter Baek, Christian Frank Andersen, Mark Olaf Slot, Casper Skovby, Simon Berg Bojesen, Morten Ravn, Michael Klitgaard

Patent number: 9611833Abstract: A blade (10) for a rotor of a wind turbine having a profiled contour divided into: a root region (30), an airfoil region (34), and a transition region (32) between the root region (30) and the airfoil region (34). A shoulder (40) is located at the boundary between the transition region (32) and the airfoil region (34). The blade's profiled contour comprises a local relative thickness defined as the local ratio between a maximum profile thickness (t) and the chord length (c). The ratio between the shoulder width (W) and the blade length (L) being less than or equal to 0.075, and the relative thickness (t/c) in a blade length interval of 0-0.8 L is at least 22%.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2010Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: LM GLASFIBER A/SInventors: Jesper Madsen, Christian Frank Andersen, Peter Fuglsang

Publication number: 20070022963Abstract: A trough is disclosed for supplying piglets with mineral supplements in the suckling period. The trough is designed to awaken the piglets' curiosity and thus make them root in the bottom of the trough, where the mineral supplements are dispensed in form of a dry powder mixture, and thus reduce spillage as compared to placing the mineral supplements on the floor of the pen. During the pre-weaning of the piglets the trough can be converted to serve as a normal trough for solid feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2006Publication date: February 1, 2007Inventors: Karl Jensen, Frank Andersen, Jens Munk
