12. Wind turbine terminology and Components 

Learned a lot in a 6 min video than 5-year Engineering course

I love this side of the RU-vid

Wind Turbine Terminology and Components -------------------------------------------------------------- Learning Objectives: After this lecture you should be able to: - List the main components of the commercial horizontal-axis wind turbine - List the main degrees of freedom of the commercial horizontal-axis wind turbine Main Components ------------------------- Rotor: Generates aerodynamic torque from the wind. Nacelle: Converts the torque into electrical power. Tower: Holds nacelle and rotor blades up in the wind and provides access to the nacelle. Foundation: Ensures that the turbine stays upright Main degrees of freedom ---------------------------------- Azimuth: Rotation of rotor about its shaft due to the torque. Yaw: Rotation of nacelle about the vertical lengthwise axis of the tower. Pitch: Rotation of blades about their lengthwise axis due to pitch control action. Rotor: Blades, Hub, Spinner, Pitch bearing and system Summary ------------- The main components of the horizontal-axis wind turbine are: Rotor with rotor Blades and Hub Nacelle Drivetrain with main bearing, gearbox, brake and generator Power electronics consisting of the converter and transformers Tower Foundation the main degrees of freedom are: - Azimuth rotation of the rotor - Yaw rotation of nacelle about the vertical axis - Pitch rotation of the blades about their lengthwise axis

Thank you for this lesson. Very easy to understand and remember.

Thanks a lot, it's very helpfull. French student in wind turbine

Simple and Short, Thank you

Thank u soo much Very helpful Can u pls make PDF of these things which u tell and put it in description for more convenience

Excellent presentation thank you

Great video for understanding 🔥🔥❤️

Perfect video. Thank you for the information.

Such an easy explaination

great and informative

PERFECT VIDEO

Thanks for the video, it's very explanatory.

Nice explanation, Suscribed !!!

Why horizontal turbines are more efficient than vertical?

Need a clarification. Does the Convertor (shown at 3:28 ) converts AC power from Generator to DC Power? I think instead of Convertor, the equipment at this place has to be a HV Transformer

Thank u sir !😊

Can't understand the purpose of converter, please explain it in detail

Where does he explain how to power cables work?

Sir , please send 1 kva wind generator specification

thanks put in youtube

I wish someone would mention stance I noticed on some vertical wind turbines for sale it says stance not included I can’t find out what that is

Thanks a lot!

wind turbines should be taken out of the world. so that nature can regain its normal windflow. the storms we now se are a result of these wind turbine parks.
