Actuation system for a wind turbine blade flap. A method of actuating a flap (9) in a wind turbine rotor blade (1) is provided wherein a fluid is used for reversibly expanding an actuating element (16, 17, 19) acting a movable part (13) of the flap by varying the fluid pressure in the actuating elem
Actuation system for a wind turbine blade flap. A method of actuating a flap (9) in a wind turbine rotor blade (1) is provided wherein a fluid is used for reversibly expanding an actuating element (16, 17, 19) acting a movable part (13) of the flap by varying the fluid pressure in the actuating element (16, 17, 19). Further, a wind turbine rotor with a rotor blade (1) comprising a flap (9) and a flap actuating system, where the flap comprises a fixed part (12) that is fixed to the rotor blade (1) and a movable part (13) that is movable relative to the fixed part (12), is disclosed, in which the flap actuating system comprises an actuating element (16, 17, 19) with a reversible changeable volume located between the movable part (13) of the flap and the fixed part (12) of the flap, a fluid within the actuating element (16, 17, 19) the pressure of which is settable and a pressure setting device which is designed to press fluid into or release fluid from the element (16, 17, 19) as to change its volume.

1. A method of actuating a flap in a wind turbine rotor blade, comprising: arranging a movable part of the flap in the rotor blade;arranging a fixed part of the flap, wherein the fixed part is fixed to the rotor blade and wherein the movable part and the fixed part are connected by a thin section of flap material;reversibly expanding an actuating element by varying a fluid pressure in the actuating element wherein the actuating element is located between the movable part and the fixed part; andactuating a movable part of the flap by the actuating element wherein movement of the movable part occurs at the thin section. 2. The method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fluid is selected from the group consisting of: air, compressed air, water, water with an anti-freeze agent, and hydraulic oil. 3. The method, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fluid pressure in the actuating element is regulated by a regulator responding to loads of the turbine blade or the supporting structure. 4. A wind turbine rotor with a rotor blade, comprising: a flap arranged along a full length from a shoulder to a tip point of a trailing edge of the rotor blade where the flap is fabricated from a raw material and the flap has a fixed portion fixed to the rotor blade, anda movable portion that is movably attached to the fixed portion wherein the flap has an external protrusion and a dimension of the flap varies dependent on a radial position; andan actuating system that actuates the flap, wherein the actuating system hasa reversibly changeable volume arranged between the movable portion of the flap and the fixed portion of the flap,a fluid within the actuating element the pressure of which is settable, anda pressure setting device designed to press fluid into or release fluid from the actuating element as to change its volume and wherein the actuating element is integrated into the flap as an inner cavity. 5. The wind turbine rotor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the actuating element is a fluid hose. 6. The wind turbine rotor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the fluid is selected from the group consisting of: air, compressed air, water, water with an anti-freeze agent, and hydraulic oil. 7. The wind turbine rotor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the actuating element has a flat section or is folded. 8. The wind turbine rotor as claimed in claim 4, wherein a dimension of the flap is fixed, independent of a radial position. 9. The wind turbine rotor, as claimed in claim 4, wherein the flap is composed continuously or as a series of flap elements arranged at different radial positions. 10. The wind turbine rotor as claimed in claim 4, wherein the flap actuating system comprises a fluid pressure regulator that responds to loads of the turbine blade or the supporting structure.
