Pitch controlled wind turbine

Abstract

A first aspect of the invention provides a pitch controlled wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, a hub mounted rotatably on the nacelle, and at least three wind turbine blades, wherein each wind turbine blade extends between a root end connected to the hub via a pitch mechanism, and a tip end, the wind turbine further comprising at least three blade connecting members, each blade comprising a first connection point and a second connection point, wherein each blade connecting member extends from a first connection point on one wind turbine blade towards a second connection point on a neighbouring wind turbine blade, where each connection point on a given wind turbine blade is arranged at a distance from the root end and at a distance from the tip end of the wind turbine blade and adjacent a leading edge of the wind turbine blade, and wherein each connecting member is independently moveable in two orthogonal directions at the respective first and second connection points to which it attaches.
