Stall strips are added to offshore wind turbine rotor blades to address a specific aerodynamic issue related to blade stall. Blade stall occurs when the angle of attack, which is the angle between the incoming wind and the blade's chord line (an imaginary line from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the blade), becomes too high. This excessive angle of attack causes the airflow over the blade's surface to separate, creating turbulence and a significant reduction in lift, therefore reducing the turbine's power output and increasing loads on the ....
