Hydraulic Soft Yaw System LOAD REDUCTION AND PROTOTYPE RESULTS S. Stubkier, H. C. Pedersen and K. Markussen
Agenda • Introduction • System description • Simulation setup • Load reduction • Results of controlled slippage • Test rig presentation • Measurement results • Conclusion and Future prospects
Main benefits of hydraulic yaw • Same load on all pinions at all times • Backlash has no influence on loading • Well defined extreme slippage • Fatigue load reduction • Ultimate load reduction • Lower tear and wear – increased yaw activity • Higher power to volume ratio

Influence on energy production • Little to noinfluence
Features of hydraulic yaw system • Off grid operation • Self yaw by wind load • Energy harvesting from main shaft • Down wind stable turbine • Fault detection • Simple pressure measurements • Frequency analysis • Lower COE
Conclusion • Advantages • Same load on all pinions at all times • Backlash has no influence on loading • Well defined extreme slippage • Fatigue load reduction • Ultimate load reduction • Lower tear and wear – increased yaw activity
