Design, manufacturing and testing of Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Flaps

摘要

The overall goal for the INDUFLAP project was realization of a test facility for development and test of Controllable Rubber Trailing Edge Flaps (CRTEF) for wind turbines.This report covers experimental work at DTU Wind Energy including design, manufacture and test of different configurations of flaps with voids in chord- or spanwise direction. Development of rubber flaps has involved further design improvements. Non-metallic spring elements and solutions for sealing of continuous extruded rubber profiles have been investigated.
