Heat dissipation system, wind generator set and heat dissipation supporting platform
The present disclosure relates to a heat dissipation system, a wind generating set, and a heat dissipation supporting platform. The heat dissipation system includes: a supporting platform, the supporting platform including a body portion, the body portion including an inlet, an outlet, a flow channel communicating the inlet with the outlet, and a mounting position for mounting a functional device, the inlet, the outlet and the flow channel together form a medium circulation passage; and a heat exchange apparatus which communicates with the medium circulation passage and delivers the cooling medium into the medium circulation passage, the cooling medium flowing through the inlet and the flow channel and flowing out from the outlet to exchange heat with the functional device.
Splitter plate arrangement for a serrated wind turbine blade
A wind turbine blade (10) is described having a serrated trailing edge (20). Splitter plates (106) are provided on the blade, to reduce operational noise. Each splitter plate (106) is arranged to extend at least partly into a space in between adjacent serrations. The splitter plates can be formed integrally with the serrations, or attached to existing serrations as a retrofit solution. The serrations with the splitter plates can be provided as a trailing edge panel (108) for attachment to the trailing edge of an existing wind turbine blade.

Biomimetic airfoil bodies and methods of designing and making same
An airfoil body may include a plurality of tubercles along a leading edge of the airfoil body and a plurality of crenulations along a trailing edge of the airfoil body, wherein at least one of a position, a size, and a shape of the plurality of tubercles and the plurality of crenulations varies in a non-periodic fashion. The non-periodic fashion may be according to a Fibonacci function and may mimic the configuration of a pectoral fin of a humpback whale. The tubercles and crenulations may be defined with respect to a pivot point. The spanwise profile, including the max chord trailing edge curvature, may closely follow divine spirals and related Fibonacci proportions. The spanwise chord thickness may vary in a nonlinear pattern. Related methods are also described.
