2. 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.

3. Vestas V90-2MW - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestas_V90-2MW

   The Vestas V90-2MW is a three-bladed upwind horizontal-axis wind turbine designed and manufactured by Vestas [citation needed] with versions for wind classes IIA and IIIA. [ 1 ] The V90-2MW has a tubular steel tower between 80 metres (260 ft) and 125 metres (410 ft) height.

4. 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 ...

5. 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.

6. Gamma 60 wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_60_wind_turbine

   The Gamma 60 wind turbine, a 1.5 MW two-bladed upwind horizontal axis wind turbine, was installed by Wind Energy Systems Taranto S.p.A. (WEST) at Alta Nurra, Sardinia, Italy in April 1992. [1]

7. Tehachapi Pass wind farm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehachapi_Pass_Wind_Farm

   The area has multiple generations of wind turbine technology installed, including both single and double-blade turbines, as well as the more modern three-blade horizontal axis design. The older generation turbines generate kilowatts, and the modern turbines installed generate up to 3 megawatts, depending on the specific turbine and manufacturer.

8. Outline of wind energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_wind_energy

   Small wind turbine – are wind turbines which have lower energy output than large commercial wind turbines. Unconventional wind turbines – the three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine (HAWT). Vertical axis wind turbine – type of wind turbine where the main rotor shaft is set vertically and the main components are located at the base of ...

9. 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 ...
