Questions this course answers

What aerodynamic force primarily turns the blades?

Blade lift creates torque around the rotor hub.

What does pitch control change?

Pitch changes aerodynamic force and captured power.

What does yaw control do?

Yaw keeps the rotor oriented into the wind.

What converts rotation to electricity?

Electromagnetic induction in the generator produces electrical output.

Why use a converter?

Power electronics manage variable speed and grid-compatible electricity.
