Weak wind start on wind turbines

Drivetrain resistance and starting performance of a small wind turbine

Most small wind turbines do not have pitch adjustment of the blades. This makes starting at low wind speed a serious challenge which is magnified by the drivetrain resistance caused by

Why Do Wind Turbines Stop?

The start-up speed is the minimum wind speed that is needed for the turbine to actually start rotating. Note that at this very low speed, the turbine cannot generate any electricity.
