French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines tournantes électriques - types
  • Énergie éolienne
OBS

[...] au-delà d'une certaine vitesse de vent, variable selon les modèles, l'éolienne va être «arrêtée». Concrètement, à plus de 100 km/h environ, les pales sont mises en drapeau, c'est-à-dire parallèles à la direction du vent. Le rotor tourne alors lentement en roue libre et l'éolienne ne produit plus d'électricité.
