Patent number: 9932960Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Senvion GmbHInventors: Marc Petsche, Christoph Matthias Korjahn

Patent number: 7585157Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2004Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Repower Systems AGInventors: Peter Quell, Marc Petsche
