In this video, we delve into the remarkable story of James Blyth, a Scottish professor who invented the world’s first electricity-generating wind turbine in 1887. Blyth’s pioneering work in harnessing the power of wind energy laid the foundation for the modern wind turbine technology that we see today.
The main parts of the yaw brake hydraulic system and their functions are Accumulator: The accumulator stores fluid under pressure, and serves as a backup source of clamping pressure if system pressure is lost. Bleed Valve: Used to drain fluid from the accumulator to relieve pressure during service operations. Brake Calipers: Pressure in the brake…
Wind turbines work on a simple principle. The wind hits the rotor blades. The combination of wind speed and blade rotation results in a pressure distribution on the rotor blades. The pressure distribution causes a turning moment (torque). The turning moment rotates the shaft. The shaft is coupled to a generator that produces electrical power…
