Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of optimizing a rotor blade of a wind turbine, wherein said rotor blade extends from a rotor-blade coupling to a rotor-blade tip in a rotor-blade longitudinal direction with a rotor-blade length, having an aerodynamical profile extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein said method comprises the following steps: designing of said rotor blade for design environmental conditions including at least one design air density, with said designing comprising providing a sound-protection means, the sound protection means comprising at least one bristle, within a blade external region of said rotor blade the latter being defined as the 50% of said rotor-blade length abutting said rotor-blade tip; providing an air density at the installation site of said wind turbine; comparing said air density with said design air density; and increasing the induction factor by increasing a density factor of said sound-protection means when said air density is lower than said

Abstract: A method of optimizing a rotor blade of a wind turbine as well as to an associated rotor blade, and to a wind turbine, wherein the rotor blade extends from a rotor-blade coupling to a rotor-blade tip in a rotor-blade longitudinal direction with a rotor-blade length, having an aerodynamical profile extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the method comprises the following steps: designing the rotor blade for design environmental conditions including at least one design air density, with the designing comprising providing a sound-protection means within a blade external region of the rotor blade, the latter being defined as the 50% of the rotor-blade length abutting the rotor-blade tip; providing an air density at the installation site of the wind turbine; comparing the air density with the design air density; and increasing the induction factor by upsizing the sound-protection means in case the air density is lower than the design air density.
