Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to blades of a wind power plant and to a wind power plant comprising a tower and a rotor with a plurality of blades, wherein at least one blade is mounted in a pitch-adjustable manner on a pitch bearing. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method of controlling such a wind power plant. Background technique
[0002] The electrical output achievable by a wind power plant depends directly on the size of the rotor swept area (rotorarea) and thus on the effective length of the blades. As a rule of thumb, a 1% shortening of the blades will result in a 2-3% reduction in power output. In order to save material and weight, the blades of wind power plants are usually very flexible, so the bending caused by the wind is very easy to understand. It follows from this that the deformation of the blades leads to a reduction in the swept area of ​​the rotor and thus to an undesired reduction in power output.
[0003] Furthermore, the d...
