🌬️ Wind Turbine Cutaway: Drivetrain Power Chain and Farm Wake Losses

Cut open a 3 MW wind turbine: follow wind power through the rotor, a 90:1 gearbox, generator and converter to the grid, watch pitch control hold rated speed, and see how a row of turbines steals each other's wind.

Cut open a 3 MW wind turbine and follow the wind's power through the rotor, a real tooth-count 90:1 gearbox, generator and converter to the grid. Watch pitch control hold rated speed in a storm, then see how a row of five turbines steals each other's wind (Jensen wake model).
