Effect of load reduction mechanisms on loads and blade bearing movements of wind turbines
Wind Energy, 2020 The power control of wind turbines is usually realized via a change in the pitch angle of the rotor blades. Pitching facilitates the exact control of the turbines and the reliable deceleration of the rotor when required.
