Estimating the term…
A wind turbine including: at least a rotor blade including an aerodynamic device for influencing the airflow flowing from the leading edge section of the rotor blade to the trailing edge section of the rotor blade, wherein the aerodynamic device is mounted at a surface of the rotor blade, an actuator of the aerodynamic device for actuating the aerodynamic device at least between a first protruded configuration and a second retracted configuration, a pressure supply system for operating the actuator by means of a pressurized fluid, an acoustic receiver for measuring an acoustic signal in the pressure supply system, and a diagnostic unit connected to the acoustic receiver and configured for deriving an operative status of the aerodynamic device based on the acoustic signal, is provided.
A wind turbine comprising:
A rotor blade for a wind turbine comprising:
A method for detecting an operative status of an aerodynamic device for influencing an airflow flowing from a leading edge of a rotor blade for a wind turbine to a trailing edge of the rotor blade, the aerodynamic device being movable by an actuator between a first protruded configuration and a second retracted configuration by means of a pressurized fluid, the method comprising:
