Title:
A WIND TURBINE AND METHOD OF GENERATING POWER FROM THE WIND
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/208246
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Wind turbines are often located in extreme conditions where temperatures can vary widely beyond those encountered in everyday life. High and low temperatures can affect the performance of wind turbine blades, for example by expansion or contraction of the materials from which they are constructed, build-up of ice on external surfaces thereof, and/or changes to flexibility or resilience of components. The present invention provides a wind turbine in which temperature-controlled pressurised air may be conveyed to air outlets 21 on the blades 1. In this way, air of a chosen temperature may be conveyed to the outlets so as to prevent undesirable temperature effects on the turbine blades.
