WIND TURBINE COMPRISING SEGMENTED BLADES

摘要

The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising segmented blades. According to the invention, the blades (16) of the wind turbine (1) are divided into at least three segments (16a, 16b, 16c) which have a suitable aerodynamic shape, which are distributed along the span of the blade (16) and which can pivot independently of each other around a hinge axis (18) that is essentially parallel to a generatrix of the blade (16). The aforementioned segments (16a, 16b, 16c) are angularly positioned such as to define an aerodynamically-optimal overall blade (16) twist at all operating points.
