26. Yaw Control
Yaw control turns the turbine to face the wind.
It can be done passively for lower power turbines.
Yaw error means less captured power but too sensitive yawing causes mechanical wear with small power gain.
Some yaw brake slippage is desirable so when the turbine is in shut-down mode, turbine will be yawed passively by the wind force.
Low power turbines can yaw away from the wind as a way to shed excessive wind power. 26 Engineering 10, SJSU Ken Youssefi / Hsu
27. Ken Youssefi / Hsu Engineering 10, SJSU 27 Why do turbine blades have a “twisted’ shape?
Looks cool
More aerodynamic
Easy to remove from the mold it is made in
Less weight near the tip of the blade.
Keep angle of attack same along the blade
