    Abstract: A connection assembly for a tower of a wind turbine is provided. The connection assembly includes a first tower section segment having an inner surface spaced apart from an outer surface. A second tower section segment is positioned adjacent to the first tower section segment and includes an inner surface spaced apart from an outer surface. The first tower section segment and the second tower section segment define a vertically extending gap therebetween. A connector plate includes a first connector plate portion, a second connector plate portion spaced apart from the first connector plate portion, and a third connector plate portion positioned between the first connector plate portion and the second connector plate portion. The first connector plate portion couples to the first tower section segment. The second connector plate portion couples to the second tower section segment. The third connector plate portion extends through the vertically extending gap.

    Abstract: A wind turbine rotor blade joint assembly and method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The rotor blade includes an upper shell member having a spar cap configured on an internal face thereof and a lower shell member having a spar cap configured on an internal face thereof. A shear web extends between the spar caps along a longitudinal length of the blade. The shear web includes first and second longitudinally aligned components that extend from and are integral with respective spar caps. A joint assembly is configured between facing transverse ends of the first and second components of the shear web. The joint assembly includes a connecting structure configured to receive the transverse ends of the first and second components. The connecting structure is infused and integral with the first component of the shear web and bonded with the second component of the shear web.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling the state of charge of an energy storage system used in conjunction with a renewable energy source or other power generation system are provided. More particularly, a future output requirement of the energy storage system can be predicted based at least in part on data indicative of anticipated conditions, such as weather conditions, wake conditions, or other suitable conditions. A control system can adjust a state of charge setpoint from a nominal setpoint (e.g. 50%) to an adjusted setpoint based at least in part on the future output requirement. In this way, the energy storage system can better accommodate the output requirements of the energy storage system during varying weather conditions.

    Abstract: A rotor blade for a wind turbine includes at least one blade segment defining an airfoil surface and an internal support structure. The internal support structure is formed, at least in part, of a first portion constructed of a first composite material and a second portion constructed of a different, second composite material, the second composite material arranged in a plurality of layers. The first and second portions are connected together via a scarf joint. Each of the plurality of layers of the second composite material includes an end that terminates at the scarf joint. The scarf joint includes a different, third composite material arranged between the first and second composite materials. The third composite material includes a plurality of segments, each of which is arranged so as to completely wrap the ends of the plurality of layers of the second composite material.
