Abstract

A horizontal axis wind turbine blade configuration is provided which is adapted to dissipate the energy which would otherwise exceed the capacity of the energy conversion system, when the wind speed and/or the wind turbine rotational speed exceed(s) levels established by the particular design. Aerofoil section(s) (A) connected to a HAWT rotor hub dissipate some of, and under severe operating conditions can dissipate virtually all of, the energy that the conventional wind turbine blade(s) or blade section(s) extract from the wind. The aerofoil Section(s) (A) are configured to use aerodynamic lift in a similar manner to a propeller or lift rotor as the principle energy dissipation mechanism when the rotor speed exceeds a certain value for a particular pertaining wind speed, that rotor speed being an outcome of the overall design.
