  • Publication number: 20230279835
    Abstract: A trailing edge panel is configured to be attached to a trailing edge of a wind turbine blade and includes a base element and a number of protruding aerodynamic elements. The base element has an attachment part configured to be attached to and extend from the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade and to an upstream position on a first blade side of the wind turbine blade. The base element further has a serrated part extending from the second side of the attachment part and configured to project out from the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade, wherein the serrated part comprises a number of serrations, including a first serration and a second serration. The number of protruding aerodynamic elements, including a first protruding aerodynamic element, includes a first protruding part attached to the serrated part of the base element.

  • Publication number: 20230106374
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade (10) with an access window (94) extending through a shell body of the blade. A frame (96), which defines an opening (97), is arranged on top of the outer surface of the blade such that the opening of the frame (96) is aligned with the access window. A cover member (92) covers the opening (97) of the frame and releasably closes the access window.

  • Publication number: 20230049133
    Abstract: A noise reduction element extends between a first end and a second end in a first direction. The noise reduction element extends between a third end and a fourth end in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The noise reduction element includes a base part configured to be attached to a trailing edge of a wind turbine blade. The base part has a first base part surface and a second base part surface. The base part extends between the first end and a first position in the first direction. The noise reduction element includes a first serration part having a serration pressure surface and a serration suction surface and extending in the first direction between the first position and the second end. The first serration part has a thickness in a third direction between the serration pressure surface and the serration suction surface.

  • Publication number: 20220186705
    Abstract: Wind turbine rotor blade with reduced trailing edge noise A wind turbine rotor blade is described, the rotor blade extending in a spanwise direction between a root end and a tip end, and extending in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The rotor blade comprises a series of serrations projecting from the trailing edge, each serration extending from a base to a tip to define a length of the serration. The rotor blade also comprises a respective distinct set of fins associated with, and arranged adjacent to, each of the serrations, each fin projecting from a surface of the blade and extending between a leading end and a trailing end to define a length of the fin. Each set of fins comprises multiple fins whose trailing ends are in spanwise alignment with, and are located at or upstream of, the base of the serration associated with the set.

  • Patent number: 10697426
    Abstract: An aerodynamic device is described for mounting to an outer surface of a wind turbine blade. The aerodynamic device includes a baseplate having an inner surface defining a mounting region and a sealing region at least partially surrounds the mounting region. The mounting region is bonded to the outer surface of the blade by an adhesive. A seal is provided between the sealing region of the baseplate and the outer surface of the blade. The seal at least partially surrounds the mounting region. A barrier is provided between the seal and the adhesive. The barrier is arranged substantially to prevent contact between the seal and the adhesive.
