WIND TURBINE YAW SYSTEM

Abstract

The energy sector is one oftire main factors ofthe country's economic growth. This is due to the high cost of fuel worldwide. Pakistan is strongly influenced to cut its dependence on fuel. Renewable energy is the best alternative. Pakistan meets 6% of its total needs through renewable energy. Wind Turbines says increasing solar and wind power capacity to at least 30 percent of total installed capacity by 2030 represents the least-cost development scenario, and $5 billion in fuel savings over 20 years is one of tire best renewables available. Optimizing wind energy conversion efficiency has recently led to technological advances and scientific understanding of wind turbines. In this context, the deviation behaviour of wind turbines has become an important issue. Yaw control can really be used for optimization at tire level of individual wind turbines and wind farms. We present a prototype wind turbine deflection system that is used to optimize output power along with parameters (speed, direction) ofrenewable energy sources.
