The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade (10) comprising two or more serrations (100a, 100b, 100c) provided along a section (S) of the trailing edge (20). The section (S) extends spanwise from the tip end (14) towards the root end (16) for up to 5% of the total blade length (L), The serration (100a) closest to the tip end has a height (H) and/or width (W) greater than the respective height (H) and/or width (W) of at least one other serration (100b, 100c) in said section. The present invention also relates to a wind turbine (2) comprising at least one wind turbine blade (10) of the present invention and to a serrated panel (66).
A wind turbine blade having a profiled contour including a pressure side and a suction side, and a leading edge and a trailing edge with a chord having a chord length extending therebetween, the wind turbine blade extending in a spanwise direction between a root end and a tip end, the wind turbine blade comprising two or more serrations provided along a section of the trailing edge, said section extending spanwise from the tip end towards the root end for up to 5% of the total blade length, wherein a closest one of the two or more serrations to the tip end has a height and/or width greater than the respective height and/or width of at least one of a remainder of the two or more serrations in said section.
