Abstract
A blade protection member includes an adhesive layer, an opaque flexible layer and a porous vortex-suppressing layer. The opaque flexible layer covers the adhesive layer. The porous vortex-suppressing layer covers the opaque flexible layer, is exposed, and has a porous structure for passage of airflow and absorption of airflow. The blade protection member reinforces the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade, absorbs and eliminates vortex, reduces wake turbulence strength, and reduces aerodynamic noise during operation. A wind turbine blade and a wind turbine which have the blade protection member each are further introduced.
Claims8
A blade protection member for enclosing a trailing edge of a wind turbine blade, comprising:
- an adhesive layer adhering to the trailing edge of the wind turbine blade;
- an opaque flexible layer covering the adhesive layer;
- and
- a porous vortex-suppressing layer covering the opaque flexible layer, exposed to an outside, and having a porous structure for passage of airflow and absorption of airflow.
