Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Flaps For Wind Turbine BladesRiso, Denmark (SPX) Feb 23, 2010 For some years, the Wind Energy Division at Riso DTU has been working to develop a method for controlling the loads on large wind turbine blades using a flexible trailing edge made of an elastic material which can be controlled by means of compressed air or hydraulics. Now, the invention, which has been called CRTEF (Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Flap), has been tested in a wind tunnel with promising results. Today's wind turbine blades, which can measure more than 60 metres in length, are sub ... read more |
