Effects of Yaw Error on Wind Turbine Running Characteristics Based on the Equivalent Wind Speed Model

Natural wind is stochastic, being characterized by its speed and direction which change randomly and frequently. Because of the certain lag in control systems and the yaw body itself, wind turbines cannot be accurately aligned toward the wind direction when the wind speed and wind direction change...
