  • Publication number: 20240035442
    Abstract: A load mitigation arrangement of a non-mounted rotor blade, includes at least one actuatable lift-modification device arranged on a surface of the rotor blade; a monitor configured to estimate the magnitudes of loads acting on the non-mounted rotor blade; a controller configured to actuate the lift-modification device on the basis of the estimated magnitudes to mitigate the loads acting on the non-mounted rotor blade. Further provided is a rotor blade assembly, and a method of performing load mitigation on a non-mounted rotor blade.

  • Patent number: 11511942
    Abstract: Systems for automatically leveling a base frame of a bulk material transport conveyor include radial travel wheels mounted on generally opposing sides of the base frame that can move from a raised position above the ground to a lowered position in contact with the ground to permit radial travel of the conveyor. Actuators normally used to raise or lower the radial travel wheels may be actuated automatically by a controller in response to a signal from an inclination and/or limit sensor mounted on the conveyor that represents a non-level orientation of the conveyor, to level the base frame.
