"Wind Turbine With Integrated Design And Controlling Method"

Abstract: A wind turbine (5) is provided. The wind turbine (5) includes a tower (40) including a yaw interface (30), a bladed rotor (10) including at least one blade (70) rotatable in response to wind impinging upon the at least one blade, and a beam structure (20) configured to support the bladed rotor (10). The beam structure (20) includes at least two beam members (22, 24). Each of the at least two beam members (22, 24) is coupled to the yaw interface (30) by at least one joint element (32, 34), so that the bladed rotor (10) is rotatable about a yaw axis (44) of the wind turbine (5). The at least two of the joint elements (32, 34) are spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the tower (40). Further, another wind turbine (5) including a yaw interface and a method for controlling a yaw angle of a wind turbine (5) are also provided. (Figure 2)
