Wind Turbine Yaw System: Introduction
Video: Wind Turbine Yaw System Introduction The wind turbine yaw control system provides two functions that are crucial to safe and efficient operation: The nacelle must point directly into the wind for maximum efficiency. Also, a rotor disk that is not perpendicular to the relative wind experiences higher loading on the portion of the disk…
Wind Turbine Yaw Gearbox
Power from the yaw motors is transmitted to the yaw ring through a reduction gearbox which provides both speed reduction and torque multiplication. This yaw drive uses a planetary gearbox with the motor mounted vertically at the top. Planetary gearboxes are often used on commercial wind turbines because they offer high reduction ratios from a…
