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…

In the 1970s oil crisis, many countries began to explore alternative energy options and their viability. In the US, NASA, and the Department of Energy have collaborated to develop a series of megawatt large research wind turbines known as Mod series. The Mod Series The wind turbines developed in the mod series were very expensive…
