FURLING AND YAW ANALYSIS<br />

(I.23)<br />

Where cos(�) is the projection of the rotor area onto a plane, which is perpendicular to the<br />

wind direction. The variables equate those of (I.1).<br />

U<strong>sin</strong>g the derived moment equations, the alignment of the wind turbine is calculated in<br />

two different scenarios, as illustrated on figure I.4. In the first scenario the wind turbine<br />

aligns with the wind by rotating clockwise and in the second it rotates counter clockwise.<br />
