    摘要: The present disclosure relates to dampening of predominantly edgewise vibrations in a wind turbine blade. This is achieved by a wind turbine blade comprising one or more bump airfoil sections, each bump airfoil section being characterised in that for any airfoil within the bump airfoil section, the airfoil's pressure side profile yp has particular geometric properties near the trailing edge of the airfoil. Furthermore, a total length of all bump airfoil sections in the blade is at most 30% of the length of the blade, and at least half of the total length of all bump airfoil sections in the wind turbine blade is provided by one or more bump airfoil sections located spanwise in the outermost 30% of the blade.

    摘要: A wind turbine blade measurement system for optically determining a torsion of a wind turbine blade is disclosed. The wind turbine blade measurement system comprises: a wind turbine blade, which is configured to be mounted to a hub of a wind turbine, a first camera, and an auxiliary camera. The first camera is mounted in a fixed position on a support structure on an exterior surface of the root section of the wind turbine blade and arranged so as to measure along the spanwise direction of the wind turbine blade. The auxiliary camera is arranged at a position outside of the wind turbine blade, the auxiliary camera being arranged so as to being able to carry out measurements of a plurality of sets of markers arranged on the surface of the wind turbine blade and an orientation of at least one of the support structure and the first camera.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to devices for wind turbine blades and methods for reducing vibrations in wind turbines. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to devices for mitigating vortex induced vibrations and stall induced vibrations, wind turbine blades comprising such devices, and methods for reducing wind turbine vibrations when the wind turbine is parked, especially during wind turbine installation and/or maintenance. A method for mitigating vibrations of a parked wind turbine comprises arranging a device in an inactive state with a wind turbine blade; and causing the device to transition to an active state in which the device grips the wind turbine blade more strongly than in the inactive state.
