MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517043516 A) filed by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy Innovation &. Technology S. L., Sarriguren, Spain, on May 5, for 'wind turbine blade.'
Inventor(s) include March Nomen, Victor.
The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A blade (200) for a wind turbine (10) comprising a lightning protection system and a non-conductive exterior surface (201). The lightning protection system comprises an internal down conductor (31) for conducting lightning current towards a base portion (21) of the blade (200). The lightning protection system further comprises one or more exposed lightning receptors (400) located on a suction side (26) or a pressure side (25) of the blade (200) at a spanwise position of the blade (200), extending through the exterior surface (201) of the blade (200) and electrically connected to the internal down conductor (31). For one or more of the lightning receptors (400), for one or more points (X) on the other of the suction side (26) or pressure side (25) of the blade (200) at the spanwise position corresponding to the lightning receptor (400), the total breakdown voltage along any path of lightning from any of the one or more points (X) to the lightning receptor (400) via the interior of the blade (200) is greater than the total breakdown voltage along an indirect path from the point (X) to the lightning receptor (400) around the exterior surface (201) of the blade (400)."
The patent application was internationally filed on Nov. 10, 2023, under International application No.PCT/EP2023/081488.
