A vortex generator device for a wind turbine blade, and a wind turbine blade is disclosed, the vortex generator device comprising a base with an inner side and an outer side, and a first fin protruding from the outer side and extending along a first fin axis, wherein the vortex generator device is a single-fin vortex generator device, and the base has a first edge part and a second edge part, the first edge part and the second edge part forming a primary angle in the range from 5 degrees to 60 degrees.

Vortex generator device for a wind turbine blade

A wind turbine blade () for a rotor of a wind turbine () having a substantially horizontal rotor shaft is described. A surface mounted device () is attached to a surface of the wind turbine blade (). The surface mounted device () is attached to the surface of the wind turbine blade () via at least a first attachment part ('), which is connected to a part of the surface mounted device (). The attachment part (&#x2032;) comprises a flexible housing () that forms a cavity () between at least the housing () and the surface of the wind turbine blade (). The cavity () is filled with an adhesive that provides an adhesive bonding to the surface of the wind turbine blade ().

Wind turbine blade provided with surface mounted device

A serrated panel () for a wind turbine blade is disclosed. The panel () is configured to be attached to the trailing edge of a blade to form a plurality of serrations () at the trailing edge of the blade. The serrated panel comprises a base part () for attaching the panel () to the trailing edge of the blade. An exterior surface () of the base part comprises a corrugated surface in direction between longitudinal ends of the panel such that the exterior surface comprises crests () aligned substantially with midpoints of bases () of the serrations () and valleys () aligned substantially between serrations ().

Serrated trailing edge panel for a wind turbine blade

The subject matter is directed to a method of mounting flow-altering devices on wind turbine blades, the mounting device and the flow-altering device. The flow-altering devices having a base with an inner side for attaching to a blade, and an outer side with flow-altering device parts protruding from the base. The method provides for a mounting device with a mounting panel supporting one or more flow-altering devices; arranging the mounting panel on an area of application on the surface of the blade with an adhesive material between the inner side of the device and the surface of the blade, and with a seal between the mounting panel and the surface to form a cavity between the mounting panel and the surface of the blade; applying a negative pressure in the cavity; releasing the negative pressure; and removing the mounting panel.

Vaccuum-assisted mounting of vortex generator device on a wind turbine blade

A wind turbine blade having a surface mounted device attached thereto via at least a first attachment part, which is connected to a part of the device. The first attachment part comprises an outer attachment part providing a first bonding connection between the device and the surface of the blade, wherein the first bonding connection is an elastic bond, and an inner attachment part providing a second bonding connection between the device and the surface of the blade, wherein the second bonding connection has a structural bond. The structural bond prevents the surface mounted device from creeping and the elastic bond region relieves stresses on the bond line, such as peel stresses, whereby the surface mounted device is less likely to be ripped off the surface of the blade due to forces affecting the device or the blade.
