1. A rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine, the rotor blade assembly comprising:
a rotor blade extending from a blade root to a blade tip, the rotor blade having a pressure side surface and a suction side surface, the pressure side surface and the suction side surface each extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge; and, a blade root extension configured to attach to one of the pressure side surface or the suction side surface of the rotor blade adjacent to the blade root, the blade root extension comprising at least one blade fence and at least one airflow modifying element, the blade fence extending between a proximal end and a distal end in a chord-wise direction, the proximal end configured to attach to the rotor blade such that the distal end remains free and spaced apart from the rotor blade, the airflow modifying element configured at the proximal end of the blade fence, wherein the blade root extension is configured to improve aerodynamic performance of the rotor blade. |
