Abstract

The wind generally includes turbulence characteristics in nature. So the yaw errors between wind turbine direction and wind direction occur due to turbulence fluctuation. The yaw errors affect the fatigue load of wind turbine system and power reduction. The components of turbulence intensity are different from those of each site where the wind turbines are installed. We studied that the fatigue load and power efficiency are improved by controlling yaw motions. In this study, we controlled the averaged yaw error time according to site conditions by turbulence intensity.
