Yawing - Orienting the Turbine Into
the Wind
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines must be
able to rotate to face the wind. This is
called "yawing." The blades will not spin
if the wind is hitting them from the
side, so it is very important that the
turbine can yaw. There are two ways a
wind turbine can yaw: Active or Passive
yawing.
