4 FAQs about Wind power system hardware

What are the control systems of a wind turbine?

The control systems of the wind turbine monitor and regulate the operation of the machine, adjusting the blade pitch and yaw to optimise energy capture under different wind conditions. The rotor blades are the most visible parts of a wind turbine. Their primary role is to capture the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into rotational energy.

What is air Windpower?

Air Windpower, a company in Spain, developed a wind-powered generator designed to maximise reliability and minimise the cost of the energy produced during its operating life. Our Integrated Architecture® system provides a powerful platform for the safe control of wind turbines and wind farms.

What are the components of a wind turbine?

1. Foundation: The Hidden Anchor 2. Tower: Lifting Turbines to Higher Winds 3. Rotor and Blades: Capturing Wind Energy 4. Nacelle: The Turbine's Engine Room 5. Drivetrain and Gearbox: Powering Electricity Production 6. Generator: Converting Motion to Electricity 7. Yaw System: Aligning with the Wind 8. Pitch System: Optimizing Blade Performance 9.

How does a wind turbine yaw system work?

In high winds, the pitch control system can adjust the blade angle to reduce their surface area, limiting the amount of energy they capture and preventing damage to the turbine. The yaw system adjusts and orientates the wind turbine rotor blades into the direction of the wind.
