Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a blade assembly for connecting to a mast of a wind turbine. The blade assembly is configured to be attached to the mast to transfer energy to the wind turbine. The blade assembly includes a main blade and a main airfoil. The main blade includes a main attachment portion configured to be attached to the mast, and the main airfoil projects from the main attachment portion. The blade assembly further includes a biplane blade connected to the main blade. The biplane blade extends between a first connection portion and a second connection portion connected to the main blade. The biplane blade includes a biplane airfoil located between the first connection portion and the second connection portion.
[0002] The utility model further relates to a mast of a wind power plant including the blade assembly and the use of the blade assembly. Background Art
[0003] Wind power plants use blade assemblies connected to masts to transfer rotational energy to turbines. The rotational energy can be transferred directly to the turbine, such as in a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), or alternatively, the rotational energy can be transferred to the turbine through the mast, such as in a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).
[0004] During the use of blade assemblies in wind power plants, the blade assemblies are subjected to large forces and torques. To improve the efficiency of wind power plants, it is desirable to arrange the blade assemblies to have a longer length. However, this results in the blade assemblies being subjected to large forces and torques. To withstand these forces and torques, various special materials are usually used to manufacture the blade assemblies, such as fiber-reinforced polymers, carbon fibers, etc. Although these materials provide high strength, their problem is that they are expensive and will significantly increase the total cost of wind power plants.
[0005] It is preferable to use relatively low-cost materials, such as aluminum alloys or wood, to provide the structural strength of the blade assembly.
[0006] US2014363303A1 discloses a wind turbine blade having a biplane portion. Summary of the Utility Model
