MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511091621 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology Delhi on September 24, 2025, for A Smart Wind Turbine Blade Of Variable Chord Length.
Inventors include Jayanta Kumar Dutt; Neeraj Kumar; and Paul Meehan.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: The present subject matter discloses a method for controlling a flutter in a smart wind turbine blade. The method includes measuring, by a wind speed measuring device, windspeed in a vicinity of smart wind turbine blade. The method includes detecting, by an accelerometer, a flutter associated with the smart wind turbine blade. The method includes controlling, by a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), an actuator based on the wind speed, the plunge displacement (h), and the pitch displacement (a). The method includes moving, by the actuator, a rear portion of the smart wind turbine blade to vary a chord length of the rear portion between at least two positions thereby controlling the flutter. The smart turbine blade comprises a forward portion fixed at a first position. [[FIGS. 1]]
