Abstract
A wind turbine blade apparatus at least includes a wind turbine blade body, wherein a serration portion is disposed on at least on a part of a trailing edge of the wind turbine blade body, the serration portion having a saw-teeth shape where a mountain portion and a valley portion are arranged alternately in a blade longitudinal direction, and wherein a chord-directional cross section of the wind turbine blade body along a chord direction is formed to have an airfoil shape at any position in a region from the mountain portion to the valley portion.
Claims8
A wind turbine blade apparatus comprising:
- a wind turbine blade body,
- wherein a serration portion is disposed on at least on a part of a trailing edge of the wind turbine blade body, the serration portion having a saw-teeth shape where a mountain portion and a valley portion are arranged alternately in a blade longitudinal direction,
- wherein each of a ridge line of the mountain portion and a valley line of the valley portion, which connects adjacent serrations of the serration portions, is configured to extend along a chord direction of the wind turbine blade body, and
- wherein a chord-directional cross section of the wind turbine blade body along the chord direction is formed to have an airfoil shape at any position in a region from the ridge line of the mountain portion to the valley line of the valley portion.
An attachment member for a wind turbine blade to be attached to at least a part of a trailing edge of a wind turbine blade body, the attachment member comprising:
- a first-surface side wall surface to be disposed on a first surface of the wind turbine blade body;
- and
- a second-surface side wall surface to be disposed on a second surface of the wind turbine blade body, the second-surface side wall surface being connected to the first-surface side wall surface via a trailing edge portion,
- wherein trailing-edge portion sides of the first-surface side wall surface and the second-surface side wall surface are formed into a saw-teeth shape where a mountain portion and a valley portion are arranged alternately,
- wherein each of a ridge line of the mountain portion and a valley line of the valley portion, which connects adjacent teeth of the saw-teeth shape, is configured to extend along the chord direction of the wind turbine blade body, and
- wherein a chord-directional cross section of the wind turbine blade body along the chord direction is formed to have an airfoil shape at any position in a region from the ridge line of the mountain portion to the valley line of the valley portion.
