What is a Horizontal Wind Turbine?
What is a Wind Turbine?
In general, wind turbine converts kinetic energy to mechanical energy and then to electrical energy. If we look at the parts of wind turbines, they generally consist of a tower, a speed converter, a generator, electrical electronics and wings. There are many types of wind turbines produced so far. They are divided into horizontal wind turbines and vertical wind turbines.

What Are The Main Features of Horizontal Wind Turbines?
Horizontal wind turbines are one of the most widely used types of wind turbines among alternative energy products for obtaining wind energy. In these turbines, the axis of rotation is parallel to the wind direction, and the wings are perpendicular to the wind direction. The most common type of wind turbine currently on the market is the Horizontal Wind Turbine. Horizontal turbines are placed on a rotating surface so that the wind can get better from the front. In these turbines, the rotor rotates faster as the number of rotor blades decreases. In general, this type of wind turbine should be installed at height of 20-30 meters and 10 meters above the surrounding barriers. There are many types of horizontal wind turbines. We can show some examples of wind turbines are wind turbines that receive wind from the front or rear, single-wing, double-wing, triple or multi-wing.
What is Pitch Control in Wind Turbines?
As we know, wind turbines are one of the most common alternative energy products for high energy efficiency. Of course, each wind turbine has its own advantages due to its structure, shape and functions. In general, wind turbines have many preventive measures and functions designed for extreme weather conditions. Horizontal and other wind turbines have a built-in Pitch Control system.
The wind can always blow in very different directions throughout the year, not from the same place. Wind turbines also have wings and mechanisms designed to turn the turbine in the direction of the wind to produce maximum electricity. With the Pitch Control system, the wings of the wind turbine rotate to determine the direction of the wind, and the entire turbine is rotated in the direction of the wind by the pitch mechanism.
Safety and Control System in These Turbines
With an electronic control system that functions as the brain of wind turbines, a lot of information about the turbine is recorded and sent to the wind turbine system. Almost all wind turbines use a microprocessor in terms of control system and performance measurement.
In general, the following parameters are monitored:
- Input and output wind speeds
- Generator output to the network
- Body movement in the direction of the wind
- Adjustment of wing angles
- Stop the turbine at critical times
Registered settings
- Wind speed
- Direction information
- Generator output
- Whether there is electricity generation depending on wind speed
As we have already mentioned, this control system can also activate the brake function in critical times of the turbine, for example, to prevent overheating of the generator, disconnection from the mains, breakage in bad weather conditions, damage.
