Abstract: According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a wind turbine blade having a split blade configuration, comprising a first blade module defining an aerofoil profile and a second blade module defining an aerofoil profile; a damping module intermediate the first blade module and the second blade module; wherein the damping module comprises a first blade interface for joining to the first blade module and a second blade interface for joining to the second blade module. The damping module comprises a vibration damping unit. Beneficially, the invention provides a useful way in which to integrate motion damping functionality into a modular wind turbine blade.

Abstract: A method for controlling a yaw system (1) of a wind turbine is disclosed. The yaw system (1) comprises a toothed yaw ring (2) connected to one of a tower (8) or a nacelle (7) and an active yaw mechanism comprising at least one yaw drive (3) connected to the other of the tower (8) or the nacelle (7). Each yaw drive (3) comprises a pinion (5) configured to be arranged in engagement with the toothed yaw ring (2) and a drive mechanism (6) configured to drive the pinion (5). In the case that a wind speed and/or a turbulence and/or wind driven loads on the wind turbine exceeds a predefined threshold value, the active yaw mechanism is decoupled by decoupling at least the drive mechanism (6) of at least one of the yaw drives (3) from the yaw system (1). Subsequently the nacelle (7) is allowed to perform yaw movements relative to the tower (8) by means of free yawing.
