Electronically Controlled Actuators for a Micro Wind Turbine Furling Mechanism

Electronically Controlled Actuators for a Micro Wind Turbine Furling Mechanism

This paper presents two electromechanical systems used for the overspeed protection of small wind turbines. The actuators have the purpose of rotating the back rudder (tail vane) of the wind turbine when the blades are overspeeding. The rudder rotation angle is 90 degrees in order to completely turn...
