YAW AND FURLING<br />

82<br />

8.3 Summary<br />

The functionality of the yaw orientation system, which is used to keep the rotor aligned<br />

with the wind, was described in detail. The system basically consists of a stationary inner<br />

part and an outer part that may rotate by means of a tail vane that is connected to it.<br />

The gravity-controlled furling system was also described in detail. It functions as an over-<br />

speed and power output control mechanism, which turns the rotor out of the wind at<br />

wind speeds beyond 14 m/s.
