Qualitative yaw stability analysis of free-yawing downwind turbines

<p>This article qualitatively shows the yaw stability of a free-yawing downwind turbine and the ability of the turbine to align passively with the wind direction using a model with 2 degrees of freedom. An existing model of a Suzlon S111 upwind 2.1&thinsp;MW turbine is converted into a dow...
