2. Wind turbine design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine_design

   An example of a wind turbine, this 3 bladed turbine is the classic design of modern wind turbines Wind turbine components : 1-Foundation, 2-Connection to the electric grid, 3-Tower, 4-Access ladder, 5-Wind orientation control (Yaw control), 6-Nacelle, 7-Generator, 8-Anemometer, 9-Electric or Mechanical Brake, 10-Gearbox, 11-Rotor blade, 12-Blade pitch control, 13-Rotor hub

3. Blade pitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_pitch

   Blade pitch control is a feature of nearly all large modern horizontal-axis wind turbines.It is used to adjust the rotation speed and the generated power. While operating, a wind turbine's control system adjusts the blade pitch to keep the rotor speed within operating limits as the wind speed changes.

4. Pitch bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_bearing

   The pitch bearing, also named blade bearing, is a component of modern wind turbines which connect the rotor hub and the rotor blade. [1] The bearing allows the required oscillation to control the loads and power of the wind turbine. The pitch system brings the blade to the desired position by adapting the aerodynamic angle of attack. [2]

5. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   Large three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) with the blades upwind of the tower (i.e. blades facing the incoming wind) produce the overwhelming majority of wind power in the world today. [4] These turbines have the main rotor shaft and electrical generator at the top of a tower and must be pointed into the wind.

6. Wind-turbine aerodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-turbine_aerodynamics

   Wind-turbine blades in laydown yard awaiting installation. The primary application of wind turbines is to generate energy using the wind. Hence, the aerodynamics is a very important aspect of wind turbines. Like most machines, wind turbines come in many different types, all of them based on different energy extraction concepts.

7. QBlade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBlade

   QBlade is a public source wind turbine calculation software, distributed under the Academic Public License. The software is seamlessly integrated into XFOIL, an airfoil design and analysis tool. The purpose of this software is the design and aerodynamic simulation of wind turbine blades.
