An arrangement to reduce noise of a wind turbine rotor blade is provided, including a wind turbine rotor blade and a noise reduction device. The noise reduction device includes a serrated extension for at least reducing noise generated from the wind turbine rotor blade, the noise reduction device attached to the trailing edge section. The serrated extension has a number of first and second teeth. The designs of the first and second teeth are differently compared to each other such that suction side noise and pressure side noise are both reduced by the teeth of the serrated extension. Advantageously, the first teeth and the second teeth are arranged in an alternating, periodic pattern and differ from each other by an angle of inclination with regard to a trailing edge streamline and or by its planform shape. Furthermore, a method to reduce noise of a wind turbine rotor blade is provided.

1. An arrangement to reduce noise of a wind turbine rotor blade, wherein the arrangement comprises the wind turbine rotor blade and a noise reduction device,the wind turbine rotor blade comprises a root end, a tip end, a leading edge section comprising a leading edge, and a trailing edge section comprising a trailing edge,the noise reduction device comprises a serrated extension for at least reducing noise which is generated from the wind turbine rotor blade, andthe noise reduction device is attached to the trailing edge section,wherein the serrated extension comprises a number of first teeth and a number of second teeth,wherein the first teeth and the second teeth each comprises a respective base, and the bases of the first teeth and of the second teeth are arranged end to end to form a single row comprising the first teeth and the second teeth along the trailing edge in a spanwise direction, andwherein a design of the first teeth and the design of the second teeth are different compared to each other such that suction side noise, which is generated at a suction side of the wind turbine rotor blade, and pressure side noise, which is generated at a pressure side of the wind turbine rotor blade, are both reduced by the first teeth and the second teeth of the serrated extension. 2. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the first teeth and the second teeth are arranged in an alternating, periodic pattern. 3. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the number of first teeth is differing by less than 2 with regard to the number of second teeth. 4. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the trailing edge section is limited to a twenty percent chordwise portion of the wind turbine rotor blade beginning at the trailing edge and moving toward the leading edge,the noise reduction device comprises bumps which are located in the trailing edge section at the pressure side and/or the suction side,the bumps are located upstream with regard to a wind flow which is flowing from the leading edge section to the trailing edge section, andthe bumps and/or ridges are arranged and prepared such that the wind flow is selectively guided to the first teeth or to the second teeth by the bumps. 5. The arrangement according to claim 4, wherein each bump is disposed upstream of a respective first tooth and is configured to deflect airflow to respective second teeth positioned immediately adjacent the respective first tooth while blocking airflow to the respective first tooth. 6. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein each of the first teeth is inclined with regard to a trailing edge streamline by a first angle of inclination,each of the second teeth is inclined with regard to the trailing edge streamline by a second angle of inclination, andthe first angle of inclination and the second angle of inclination differ from each other by more than 1 degree. 7. The arrangement according to claim 6, wherein the first angle of inclination and the second angle of inclination differ from each other by more than 3 degrees. 8. The arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the first teeth are substantially triangularly shaped. 9. The arrangement according to claim 8, wherein each of the first teeth comprises a first flank and a second flank, andthe base and the first and second flanks build three sides of the triangularly shaped first tooth. 10. The arrangement according to claim 9, wherein the first teeth are shaped as substantially isosceles triangles. 11. The arrangement according to claim 9, wherein the first flank and/or the second flank comprises triangular serrations. 12. The arrangement according to claim 11, wherein the first flank and/or the second flank are convexly curved. 13. A method to reduce noise of a wind turbine rotor blade, wherein the wind turbine rotor blade comprises a root end, a tip end, a leading edge section and a trailing edge section comprising a trailing edge, the method comprising: reducing noise, which is generated from the wind turbine rotor blade, by a noise reduction device, which is attached to the trailing edge section as a serrated extension,wherein the noise is reduced by teeth, forming part of the serrated extension,wherein the teeth of the serrated extension are designed as a number of first teeth and as a number of second teeth,wherein the first teeth and the second teeth each comprises a respective base, and the bases of the first teeth and of the second teeth are arranged end to end to form a single row comprising the first teeth and the second teeth along the trailing edge in a spanwise direction, andwherein a design of the first teeth and the design of the second teeth differ compared to each other, thus suction side noise, which is generated at a suction side of the wind turbine rotor blade, and pressure side noise, which is generated at a pressure side of the wind turbine rotor blade, are both reduced by the first teeth and the second teeth of the serrated extension. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein the serrated extension is attached to the wind turbine rotor blade as a retrofit or as an integrated part during a manufacturing process of the wind turbine rotor blade.
