Abstract:
Provided is a blade mounting arrangement at the interface between a hub and a rotor blade of a wind turbine, which blade mounting arrangement includes at least an annular bearing including a stationary part mounted to the hub and a rotating part mounted to the root end of the blade; and a reinforcing ring arranged between the bearing rotating part and the root end of the blade, which reinforcing ring includes a cylindrical body portion shaped as an extension of the root end of the blade. A wind turbine including a hub and a number of blades mounted to the hub, and with such a blade mounting arrangement at the interface between the hub and each rotor blade is also provided. A method of realizing an interface between a hub and a rotor blade of a wind turbine is also provided.
