Abstract: In one aspect, a method for installing a blade sock onto a rotor blade of a wind turbine may generally include positioning the blade sock adjacent to a blade tip of the rotor blade, wherein the blade sock comprises a sock strap forming a closed-shape. In addition, the method may include moving the blade sock relative to the rotor blade such that the blade tip is received within the closed-shape formed by the sock strap and moving the blade sock spanwise along the rotor blade towards a blade root of the rotor blade until the blade sock is positioned at an intermediate location defined between the blade root and the blade tip, wherein the sock strap is configured to fit tightly around an outer perimeter of the rotor blade at the intermediate location.

Abstract translation: 在一个方面，用于将叶片袜子安装到风力涡轮机的转子叶片上的方法通常可以包括将叶片袜子定位成邻近转子叶片的叶片尖端，其中叶片袜子包括形成闭合形状的袜带。 此外，该方法可以包括相对于转子叶片移动叶片袜子，使得叶片尖端被容纳在由袜子带形成的封闭形状内，并且使叶片沿着转子叶片向翼展方向朝向转子的叶根移动 直到叶片袜子被定位在限定在叶片根部和叶片尖端之间的中间位置处，其中袜子带构造成紧密地配合在中间位置处的转子叶片的外周边。
