How are the wind turbines unloaded in high wind or manually shutdown?
WARP wind turbine shutdown is achieved by application of a small braking force or change in drag profile on one side of a module’s turbines. This initiates a progressive thrust dis-equilibrium between rotors on opposite sides. This, in turn, causes the turbines with module to yaw and move out of the wind and ‘weathervane’ to the wind in substantially the protected wake region and stagnation flow regions about the module.
