Abstract: A flow control system (200) for use with a wind turbine (10) is provided. The flow control system including an air distribution system (102,202) at least partially defined within at least one blade (22) of the wind turbine, the air distribution system comprising at least one aperture (108,208) defined through the at least one blade, and a control system (36) in operational control communication with the air distribution system. The control system is configured to operate the flow control system in a first mode, and operate the flow control system in a second mode different than the first mode to facilitate removing debris from the flow control system, the second mode including varying at least one of a velocity, a flow rate, and a direction of a fluid flow of the flow control system.
