    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis intends to asses the application of local flow control to wind turbines blades, in order to demonstrate that the normal root benging moment on the blades can be reduced, with the aim of increasing wind turbines life span, reducing regular maintenance and further to make a contribution to current research on wind turbines. It develops the subject by first assessing the flow characteristics of the Großer Windkannal (GroWiKa) in the Hermann-Föttinger Institute (HFI) at the Technical University of Berlin and continues with establishing the effectiveness of local flow control on the Reasearch Wind Turbine (BeRT) designed by the institute.
