2. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine

   Offshore wind turbines are built up to 8 MW today and have a blade length up to 80 meters (260 ft). Designs with 10 to 12 MW were in preparation in 2018, [45] and a "15 MW+" prototype with three 118-metre (387 ft) blades is planned to be constructed in 2022. [needs update] [46] The average hub height of horizontal axis wind turbines is 90 ...

3. Unconventional wind turbines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_wind_turbines

   Counter-rotating wind turbines Light pole wind turbine. Unconventional wind turbines are those that differ significantly from the most common types in use.. As of 2024, the most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT), where the turbine rotor is at the front of the nacelle and facing the wind upstream of its supporting turbine tower.

4. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Almost all large wind turbines have the same design — a horizontal axis wind turbine having an upwind rotor with 3 blades, attached to a nacelle on top of a tall tubular tower. In a wind farm, individual turbines are interconnected with a medium voltage (often 34.5 kV) power collection system [ 25 ] and communications network.

6. GE Wind - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Wind

   The GE platform began development with the creation of the 1.5-megawatt series of wind turbines that were developed with the cooperation of the United States Department of Energy. [24] It consisted of three fibreglass blades attached to a horizontal axis hub. The hub is connected to the main shaft that turns a multi-stage system of gears.

7. Small wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_wind_turbine

   The dominant models on the market, especially in the United States, are horizontal-axis wind turbines. [ citation needed ] To enable consumers to make an informed decision when purchasing a small wind turbine, a method for consumer labeling has been developed by IEA Wind Task 27 in collaboration with IEC TC88 MT2.

8. Yaw system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_system

   In the event of skew winds the "wind pressure" on the swept area causes a yawing moment around the tower axis (z-axis) which orients the rotor. [1] The tail fin (or wind vane) is commonly used for small wind turbines since it offers a low cost and reliable solution. It is however unable to cope with the high moments required to yaw the nacelle ...

9. San Gorgonio Pass wind farm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gorgonio_Pass_Wind_Farm

   Southern California Edison opened its Wind Energy Center eight miles northwest of Palm Springs in 1980 near its Devers substation, installing two wind turbine generators for testing. [11] One of these was the SWT-3 horizontal axis wind turbine generator designed by Charles Schachle and produced by the Bendix Corporation .
