The present invention relates to a leading edge protection for a wind turbine blade, wherein a leading edge axis of the leading edge protection is configured to be fitted on at least part of a leading edge of a wind turbine blade and the leading edge protection is configured to extend between the leading edge and a first edge downstream a first side of the wind turbine blade as well as between the leading edge and a second edge downstream a second side of the wind turbine blade, wherein the leading edge protection comprises a first part and wherein the first edge is configured to be non-parallel with the leading edge of the wind turbine blade along the first part of the leading edge protection. The present invention further relates to a wind turbine blade comprising the leading edge protection and a wind turbine comprising the wind turbine blade. Finally, the present invention relates to a method for protecting a leading edge of a wind turbine blade arranged on a wind turbine and a leading edge protection obtainable by that method.
Wind turbine blade (10), which comprises a tip region as well as a leading edge and a trailing edge, wherein the wind turbine blade (10) is provided with a leading edge protection (60), wherein the leading edge protection comprises a leading edge axis that is fitted on at least part of the leading edge (18) of the wind turbine blade (10) and wherein the leading edge protection (60) extends between the leading edge and a first edge (62) downstream a first side (26) of the wind turbine blade (10) as well as between the leading edge and a second edge (63) downstream a second side (24) of the wind turbine blade (10),
Leading edge protection (60) for a wind turbine blade (10), wherein a leading edge axis (61) of the leading edge protection (60) is configured to be fitted on at least part of a leading edge (18) of a wind turbine blade (10) and the leading edge protection (60) is configured to extend between the leading edge and a first edge (62) downstream a first side (26) of the wind turbine blade (10) as well as between the leading edge and a second edge (63) downstream a second side (24) of the wind turbine blade (10), wherein the leading edge protection (60) comprises a first part (64) and wherein the first edge (62) is configured to be non-parallel with a natural transition line (48) of the wind turbine blade (10) along the first part (64) of the leading edge protection (60).
A wind turbine (2) comprising a number of wind turbine blades (10), preferably three wind turbine blades (10).
