A wind turbine blade is described wherein at least one stall fence is provided on the blade surface, where the stall fence is arranged such that it extends at an angle to the chord of the blade. The stall fence acts to re-direct airflow over the blade, to improve wind turbine performance. The stall fence may be a provided towards the blade root end, acting to divert airflow towards the root end of the blade to prevent separation of attached airflow. Additionally or alternatively, the stall fence may be arranged as a flow diverter provided towards the blade tip end, to increase airflow in the tip region for increased performance and/or to disrupt the formation of tip vortices.

The present invention relates in general to a method of manufacturing fibre-reinforced parts for a wind power plant, such as a blade, in an open mould. More specifically the invention relates to a process step of applying at least one layer of gelcoat on a interior surface of said open mould prior to arranging at least one layer of material comprising fibre and to an arrangement that can be used in performing said method. The process step comprises to apply the gelcoat from a first end portion of the mould and to a second end portion of the mould and to cover the open mould from said first end portion to said second end portion gradually as gelcoat is applied. The arrangement comprises means for applying gelcoat to the interior surface of the mould () and a covering means () arranged to gradually cover the open mould () as gelcoat is applied.

Method of applying gelcoat and an arrangement performing said method

A blade section for a wind turbine blade, the blade section extending along a longitudinal axis and having at least a first end, the blade section comprising a main blade section with a contour having an outer surface. The main blade section at the first end is provided with a number of connection elements, each connection element being pivotally engaged with the main blade section about a rotational axis. Each of the connection elements being provided with a joining means for anchoring each of the connection element to another blade section. The joining means of each of the number of connection elements is arranged in a distance from the rotational axis.
