Abstract

An assembly and associated method of operation for a wind turbine blade of a wind turbine includes a vibration mitigating device configured to be arranged around the blade. The vibration mitigating device includes a main body configured to extend chord-wise around and encircle the blade, the main body having at least one inflatable body. Inflatable air flow modifying elements extend radially outward from the main body. A pressure source is connectable to the inflatable body and the air flow modifying elements to inflate the inflatable body and the airflow modifying elements based on measurements of a sensor system that monitors a condition of the wind turbine or an environmental condition around the wind turbine.
