The investigation of passive blade cyclic pitch variation using an automatic yaw control system : a subcontract report /

"The purpose of this study was to determine by analysis and full- scale experiments, whether a two-bladed wind turbine rotor with passive cyclic pitch variation, automatically yawed for rotor torque and speed control, is potentially cost-effective for wind energy conversion." zcf. Document...
