摘要 |
A rotor blade (16) for a wind turbine (10) is disclosed. The rotor blade (16) includes a root (20), a tip (22), and a body (24) extending from the root (20), the body (24) including a pressure side (32) and a suction side (34) extending between a leading edge (36) and a trailing edge (38). The rotor blade (16) further includes a winglet (40) extending between the body (24) and the tip (22), the winglet (40) including a pressure side (42) and a suction side (44) extending between a leading edge (46) and a trailing edge (48). The winglet (40) further includes a transition section (54) and defines a height (52), a sweep angle (62), an outboard cant angle (64), and a twist angle (68). The sweep angle (62), the outboard cant angle (64), and the twist angle (68) change continuously throughout the transition section (54).
