Wind Turbine Aerodynamics: Stall vs Pitch Regulation
What is a stall regulated wind turbine? What is pitch control in a wind turbine? What are the flappy bits you sometimes see at the blade tips on old wind turbines? In this video I answer these questions and talk about the two ways to regulate the amount of power produced by wind turbine blades so that the generator doesn’t get overloaded when wind speeds are high. I explain how each one works, including some of the […]
