Wind turbine blade and wind turbine generator including the same

A wind turbine generator comprising:

• a wind turbine blade comprising:
• a blade body having a chord length that decreases from a blade root side to a blade tip side,
• wherein
• the blade body includes:
• a blade-tip region in which a dimensionless radial position is within the range of 0.6 to 1.0, inclusive, the dimensionless radial position being the ratio of radial position to blade radius (½ of a blade diameter);
• and
• a blade-body region in which the dimensionless radial position is smaller than 0.6,
• wherein a maximum-blade-thickness position of a blade cross-section in the blade-tip region is closer to a leading edge than a maximum-blade-thickness position of a blade cross-section in the blade-body region,
• wherein the leading edge in the blade-tip region is shifted in the direction of the trailing edge such that a maximum-blade-thickness line formed by connecting, in the radial direction, the maximum-blade-thickness positions of the blade cross-sections at radial positions form a substantially straight line, and
• wherein the leading edge in the blade-tip region is S-shaped such that the leading edge shifts greatly toward the trailing edge in a transition region from the blade-body region to the blade-tip region, shifts gradually in the direction of the trailing edge toward the blade tip in a connecting region, which is connected to the transition region, and shifts in the direction of the trailing edge to finally connect with the blade tip in an end region, which is connected to the connecting region;
• a rotor connected to a blade root of the wind turbine blade and rotated by the wind turbine blade;
• and
• a generator configured to convert a rotational force received by the rotor to electric power.
