Short summary
This study presents a novel method to characterize the aerodynamic flow state on wind turbine blades using eTellTale (eTT) sensors. Deployed on two Vestas V27 turbines, the sensors show that attached flow increases energy production by 15 %, while detached flow reduces it by 30 %. Results indicate that 15 % of potential power is lost during 33 % of operating time, highlighting opportunities for improved real-time turbine control.
