    Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine (1) with hinged wind turbine blades (5) is disclosed. The wind turbine (1) comprises an adjustable biasing mechanism (8, 10, 11) arranged to apply an adjustable biasing force to each wind turbine blade (5) which biases the wind turbine blade (5) towards a position defining a minimum pivot angle or towards a position defining maximum pivot angle. A biasing force is selected for each wind turbine blade (5) and the selected biasing force is applied to the respective wind turbine blades (5). The wind turbine (1) is operated while monitoring rotor unbalance of the wind turbine (1). In the case that the rotor unbalance exceeds a first threshold value at least one of the wind turbine blades (5) is selected, and the biasing force applied to the selected wind turbine blade(s) (5) is adjusted.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and controlling whirling oscillations of the blades of a wind turbine. The detection of the whirling oscillations is based on measurement signal indicative of blade oscillations, and a rotation-transformation of the measurement signal from a measurement frame into at least one target frame based on the whirling oscillation frequency. The rotation-transformation comprises a backward or forward rotation transformation direction relative to a rotor rotation direction. The control is based on an oscillation component obtained from the rotation-transformed measurement signal where the oscillation component is indicative of the whirling oscillation in the backward and/or forward rotation direction.

    Abstract: A system (24) and method are described herein for manufacturing a wind turbine blade (22) proximate to the final installation site of a wind turbine (10). The system (24) includes a creel (72) of feeders (74) configured to apply strengthening elements (62) onto a plurality of shell core sections (26) coupled together and fed through the creel (72). The shell core sections (26) include an external surface (56) with a plurality of external grooves (58) recessed into the external surface (56) such that the strengthening elements (62) are laid into the external grooves (58). The system (24) also includes a deposition station (78) configured to apply an outer surface material layer (82) in fluid form to cover the external surface (56) and the plurality of strengthening elements (62). A curing station (86) heats and consolidates the shell core sections (26), the strengthening elements (62), and the outer surface material layer (82) together into a final consolidated part, with the outer surface material layer (82) defining an external profile of the blade (22) following curing.
