Abstract[English]
In a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a wind turbine comprising a nacelle and a rotor mounted to the nacelle The rotor comprises a hub and a plurality of wind turbine blades attached to the hub. Each blade extends between a blade root and a blade tip, and each blade further comprises a connection point located between the blade root and the blade tip. The wind turbine further comprises a blade connecting member connected between corresponding connection points of a pair of wind turbine blades. The wind turbine further comprises a tension adjustment system attached to the hub and configured to adjust the tension in the blade connecting member. The tension adjustment system comprises an electric motor and a winch, and the winch comprises a winch reel and a winch line. The winch line is attached to the winch reel and to the blade connecting member. The electric motor is coupled to the winch reel to rotate the winch reel and thereby spool the winch line off and onto the winch reel and to thereby adjust the tension in the blade connecting member.[French]
Selon un premier aspect, la présente invention concerne une éolienne comprenant une nacelle et un rotor monté sur la nacelle, le rotor comprenant un moyeu et une pluralité de pales d'éolienne fixées au moyeu. Chaque pale s'étend entre un pied de pale et une pointe de pale, et chaque pale comprend en outre un point de liaison situé entre le pied de pale et la pointe de pale. L'éolienne comprend en outre un élément de liaison de pale relié entre des points de liaison correspondants d'une paire de pales d'éolienne. L'éolienne comprend en outre un système de réglage de tension fixé au moyeu et conçu pour ajuster la tension dans l'élément de liaison de pale. Le système de réglage de tension comprend un moteur électrique et un treuil, et le treuil comprend une bobine de treuil et une ligne de treuil. La ligne de treuil est fixée à la bobine de treuil et à l'élément de liaison de pale. Le moteur électrique est couplé à la bobine de treuil pour faire tourner la bobine de treuil et ainsi enrouler la ligne de treuil hors et sur la bobine de treuil et pour ajuster ainsi la tension dans l'élément de liaison de pale.
