Abstract: A wind turbine (1) comprising a tower (2), a nacelle (3) and a hub (7) is disclosed. The hub (7) comprises a blade carrying structure (4) with one or more wind turbine blades (5) connected thereto. Each of the wind turbine blades (5) defines an aerodynamic profile having a chord which varies along a length of the wind turbine blade (5). Each of the wind turbine blades (5) is connected to the blade carrying structure (4) via a hinge (6) at a hinge position of the wind turbine blade (5), each wind turbine blade (5) thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (4) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The hinge position is arranged at a distance from the inner tip end (5a) and at a distance from the outer tip end (5b), and the chord at the hinge position is larger than or equal to the chord at the inner tip end (5a) and larger than the chord at the outer tip end (5b).

Abstract: A method for controlling tilt moment (10) of a wind turbine (1) is disclosed. One or more wind turbine blades (5) are connected to a blade carrying structure (4) via a hinge (6), each wind turbine blade (5) thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (4) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The wind turbine (1) further comprises an adjustable biasing mechanism (8, 11, 12) arranged to apply an adjustable biasing force to each wind turbine blade (5) which biases the wind turbine blade (5) towards a position defining minimum pivot angle or towards a position defining maximum pivot angle. Upon determining that tilt moment reduction is required, azimuth position of each of the wind turbine blades (5) is monitored, and the biasing force applied to each wind turbine blade (5) is changed as a function of azimuth position for wind turbine blades (5) in at least some azimuth positions above a horizontal level or for wind turbine blades (5) in at least some azimuth positions below the horizontal level.

The wind turbine (1) further comprises a stop mechanism arranged to move the wind turbine blades (5) to a safe pivot angle in the case of an emergency, the stop mechanism comprising a release mechanism (8, 12, 14) and at least one wire (9, 10) interconnecting the release mechanism (8, 12, 14) and each of the wind turbine blades (5). Activation of the release mechanism (8, 12, 14) causes an abrupt change in a pulling force applied to the wind turbine blades (5) by the wire(s) (9, 10), the change in pulling force causes the wind turbine blades (5) to move immediately to the safe pivot angle.

Abstract: A method for controlling yaw of a wind turbine (1) is disclosed. One or more wind turbine blades (5) are connected to a blade carrying structure (4) via a hinge (6), each wind turbine blade (5) thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (4) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The wind turbine (1) further comprising an adjustable biasing mechanism (8, 11, 12) arranged to apply an adjustable biasing force to each wind turbine blade (5) which biases the wind turbine blade (5) towards a position defining minimum pivot angle or towards a position defining maximum pivot angle. A yaw signal, e.g. a yaw moment (10), of the wind turbine (1) is detected and compared to a reference yaw signal. In the case that the difference between the detected yaw signal and the reference yaw signal exceeds a first predefined threshold value, azimuth position of each of the wind turbine blades (5) is monitored, and the biasing force applied to each wind turbine blade (5) is changed as a function of azimuth position for wind turbine blades (5) in at least some azimuth positions at a first side of a vertical level intersecting the hub (3) or for wind turbine blades (5) in at least some azimuth positions at a second, opposite, side of the vertical level, thereby creating a yaw moment which causes the yaw signal of the wind turbine (1) to approach the reference yaw signal.

Abstract: A wind turbine (1) comprising a tower (2), a nacelle (3) mounted on the tower (2) via a yaw system, a hub (4) mounted rotatably on the nacelle (3), the hub (4) comprising a blade carrying structure (5), and one or more wind turbine blades (6) connected to the blade carrying structure (5) via a hinge (7) is disclosed. Each wind turbine blade (6) is thereby arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (5) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The blade carrying structure (5) is provided with one or more elements (8) configured to improve aerodynamic properties of a surface of the blade carrying structure (5) by increasing a lift and/or decreasing a drag of the blade carrying structure. The increase in lift and/or decrease in drag varies as a function of angle of attack (AOA) between the blade carrying structure (5) and the incoming wind.
