Abstract

In this paper, different effects on the efficiency of wind power generation between automatic alignment of the wind turbine and cable twisting then untwisting, has been studied. Then the prevent cable twisting control strategy of wind turbine yaw system is proposed to reduce probability of occurrence of cable twisting, thus it helps to improve the generating capacity of wind power generation. Finally, the configuration software MCGS used to create the simulation model of wind turbine´s yaw control systems and implement the relevant module control method. MCGS simulations prove the validity of proposed prevent cable twisting control strategy.
