  • Publication number: 20240035437
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor blade for a wind turbine, wherein the blade comprises a high lift root profile with flat-back trailing edge with a suction and a pressure side, a relative thickness in between 45% and 75%, preferably in between 48% and 70% of the chord length and a trailing edge thickness between 30% and 75%, preferably between 35% and 60% of the airfoil thickness, wherein the chord position of the maximum thickness, measured from a leading edge towards the trailing edge, is between 35% and 45%, preferably between 36% and 42% of the chord length. The present invention also relates to a corresponding wind turbine.

  • Patent number: 9932960
    Abstract: A rotor blade (5) of a wind turbine, which has a profile (1-4) having an upper side (suction side) (7) and an underside (pressure side) (8). The profile (1-4) includes a camber line (21, 25) and a chord (18) between a leading edge (10) and a trailing edge (11) of the profile (1-4). The profile (1-4) has a relative profile thickness of more than 45%. At least one vortex generator (50, 50?, 50?, 50??) is disposed, in the region of the profile (1-4), on the suction side (7) of the rotor blade (5). The profile (1-4) is provided with a blunt trailing edge. And, The thickness of the trailing edge is between 15% and 70% of the chord length.

  • Patent number: 8814525
    Abstract: The profile (1-4) of a rotor blade (5) of a wind power plant is characterized in that the main camber line runs beneath the chord at least in sections in the direction of the pressure side (8). The profile is further characterized in that the profile (1-4) has a relative profile thickness of greater than 45% with a position of maximum thickness of less than 50%, wherein a lift coefficient (ca) of greater than 0.9, particularly greater than 1.4 is achieved in turbulent flow.

  • Patent number: 8052394
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor blade (60) of a wind energy plant with a top side (suction side) and a bottom side (pressure side) wherein profiles (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) with a front edge and a back edge (62) in cross-section are designed along a longitudinal axis between a rotor blade root and a rotor blade tip, one designed-based direction of air inflow (31, 32, 33, 34, 35) is predetermined for each profile (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) and the profiles (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) in the outer area facing the rotor blade tip are designed with a relative thickness of less than 30%.

  • Patent number: 7585157
    Abstract: A rotor blade for a wind power station includes a profiled member that is provided with a relative thickness which decreases towards the outside from a root to a tip of the blade. The profiled member has a leading edge and a trailing edge as well as a suction side and a pressure side while generating a negative pressure relative to the pressure side on the suction side when being flown against by moved air, the negative pressure resulting in buoyancy. The suction side of the rotor blade encompasses a device for optimizing flow around the profiled member. The device is provided with at least one planar element that extends substantially in the direction of flow, protrudes from the suction side, and is arranged in the zone of a transversal flow which runs from the root to the tip of the blade on the suction side of the profiled member.
