A tool (14) for reducing vibrations in wind turbine blades at scheduled standstill for example during turbine installation or service, the tool comprising an elongate flexible sock-like sleeve (16) for fitting over the blades (10) having an airflow-disrupting function and a guard (24) of semi-rigid material provided at an edge of the sleeve which overlies the blade trailing edge into which are received aerodynamic enhancing features such as serrations (20).

A modular wind power blade structure and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed. The structure includes a windward shell, a leeward shell, a T-shaped rib and a support member. The windward shell and leeward shell are assembled relative to each other to form a complete cross-sectional structure of the blade, the T-shaped rib is fixed on the windward shell and leeward shell along length direction of the blade and a plurality of the T-shaped ribs is provided at an interval in width direction of the blade, and the support member comprises a web and spar caps connected at both ends of the web, the two spar caps respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the windward shell and the leeward shell, and the T-shaped rib and the spar cap are pultruded profiles, and the windward shell and the leeward shell are formed through an automatic tape laying process.

A noise reduction element extends between a first end and a second end in a first direction. The noise reduction element extends between a third end and a fourth end in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The noise reduction element includes a base part configured to be attached to a trailing edge of a wind turbine blade. The base part has a first base part surface and a second base part surface. The base part extends between the first end and a first position in the first direction. The noise reduction element includes a first serration part having a serration pressure surface and a serration suction surface and extending in the first direction between the first position and the second end. The first serration part has a thickness in a third direction between the serration pressure surface and the serration suction surface.

A wind turbine blade comprising a leeward shell portion and a windward shell portion, each of the shell portions extending in a chordwise direction between a leading edge and a trailing edge of the wind turbine blade; a leading reinforcement arrangement comprising at least a leading leeward reinforcement structure engaging the leeward shell portion and a leading windward reinforcement structure engaging the windward shell portion; and a trailing reinforcement arrangement comprising at least a trailing leeward reinforcement structure engaging the leeward shell portion and a trailing windward reinforcement structure engaging the windward shell portion. The trailing windward reinforcement structure has a first stiffness in the lengthwise direction and the trailing leeward reinforcement structure has a second stiffness in the lengthwise direction, wherein the first stiffness is greater than the second stiffness at a chordwise plane of the wind turbine blade.

Proposed is a wind turbine blade with a lightning protection receptor. The wind turbine blade with a lightning protection receptor is a technology that allows for excellent lightning capture rate for both negative and positive lightning by improving lightning measures for conventional wind turbines, which are vulnerable to positive lightning, in line with the increasing wind turbine heights for large-scale power generation and the trend toward offshore wind power, and that minimizes post-repair/supplementary measures by limiting blade damage/coating peeling due to lightning strikes to a narrow area, unlike in the conventional case where damage or peeling of the coating occurs over the entire area of a blade when struck by lightning on an edge wire inserted into the lateral inner side of the blade.

A root portion for a wind turbine blade is provided, including: an inner wall, an outer wall, a filler, an inner volume, mounting inserts, and a transversal holding arrangement, wherein the transversal holding arrangement includes at least one inlay beam extending from the inner wall and/or the outer wall into a mounting insert hole of at least one mounting insert for holding the mounting insert in the root portion during operation of the wind turbine blade, and wherein the mounting insert hole is a through hole and the at least one inlay beam extends from the inner wall through the mounting insert hole to the outer wall. A wind turbine blade with the root portion, a method of producing the root portion and a method for modifying a root portion is further provided.

A wind turbine blade includes a profiled contour with a leading edge and a trailing edge, and a chord extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge, along with a blade shell with a pressure side and a suction side, a first main spar cap integrated in the pressure side of the blade shell, a second main spar cap integrated in the suction side of the blade shell, and one or more shear webs connected between the first main spar cap and the second main spar cap. The blade shell includes at least a first load carrying structure arranged at the leading edge or the trailing edge and having a first extension, including a first primary extension on a first side of the chord, where the first primary extension is at least 60% of the first extension.
