Abstract:
A wind turbine blade comprising a main blade portion having a root end and a tip end, wherein a leading edge and a trailing edge extend between the root end and the tip end, and a conductive blade tip module that abuts the tip end of the main blade portion; wherein the conductive blade tip module comprises an elongate body defining a longitudinal axis transverse to a spanwise axis of the blade, and wherein the conductive blade tip module has a length in a direction along said longitudinal axis that is greater than a chord length of the blade tip interface.
