<p>A system and method for mounting add-on devices to a wind turbine blade is described. The system uses at least one bracket which can be affixed to the root end of a blade, preferably by the mounting of the blade root end to a wind turbine hub. The bracket extends adjacent a portion of the surface of the blade, and the bracket provides a mounting point for any suitable add-on devices, e.g. aerodynamic devices such as spoilers, etc. Using the bracket as the mounting point for the add-on devices means that the devices do not have to be directly mounted to the blade surface, and can be relatively easily installed and removed without significant damage to the body of the blade. In a further embodiment, the bracket may extend adjacent the internal surface of the blade, and may provide a mounting point for any internal devices, e.g. a blade root bulkhead.</p> |
