Abstract: Rotor blades include an inner portion and a modular extension attached to the inner portion that form a new span length for the rotor blade. The modular extension includes one or more spanwise support elements connecting to the inner portion and extending in a spanwise direction, a plurality of cross-sectional ribs disposed along a length of the one or more spanwise support elements, and, a modular extension shell surrounding the modular extension supported by the plurality of cross-sectional ribs.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for validating wind farm performance improvements so as to optimize wind farm performance. In one embodiment, the method includes operating, via a controller, the wind farm in a first operating mode. Another step includes collecting a first set of operating data, via a processor, during the first operating mode. A further step includes operating, via the controller, the wind farm in a second operating mode. The method also includes collecting a second set of operating data, via the processor, during the second operating mode. Next, the method includes normalizing the first and second sets of operating data based on wind speed distributions. As such, another step includes comparing, via the processor, the normalized first and second sets of operating data so as to validate one or more wind farm performance measurements.
