  • Method of optimizing a rotor blade, rotor blade and wind turbine
    Patent number: 12584462
    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
