[A] wind turbine [whose] rotor revolutions are [kept] even by adjusting the blade angle. 11, record 1, English, - pitch%2Dregulated%20wind%20turbine
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In the case of a system with blade-angle adjustment, the electronic controller constantly measures the system’s power output. If this is too high, a command is sent to the blade-adjusting system with the result that the rotor blades are moved slightly out of the wind. When the wind drops, the blades are turned into the wind. It must therefore be possible to turn the rotor blades around their own longitudinal axis. 11, record 1, English, - pitch%2Dregulated%20wind%20turbine

Éolienne à axe horizontal dont le rotor est muni de pales inclinables qui permettent leur ajustement en fonction de la direction du vent, selon le système de contrôle par calage variable de pale. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9olienne%20%C3%A0%20pas%20variable
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Sur une éolienne contrôlée à calage variable (appelée aussi une éolienne à pas variable), le contrôleur électronique vérifie plusieurs fois par seconde la puissance de sortie de l'éolienne. En cas de puissance de sortie trop élevée, le contrôleur électronique de l'éolienne envoie une commande au dispositif de calage qui pivote immédiatement les pales légèrement sur le côté, hors du vent. Inversement, les pales seront pivotées de manière à pouvoir mieux capter de nouveau l'énergie du vent, dès que le vent aura baissé d'intensité. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9olienne%20%C3%A0%20pas%20variable

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A wind turbine blade regulation system that, when the machine reaches its rated power, and the generator is about to be overloaded, pitches the blades in the opposite direction from what a pitch controlled machine does, hence increasing the angle of attack of the rotor blades in order to make the blades go into a deeper stall, thus wasting the excess energy in the wind. 3, record 2, English, - active%20stall%20regulation

Système de régulation des pales d'une éolienne qui, lorsque celle-ci atteint sa puissance nominale et que la génératrice est sur le point d'être surchargée, fait pivoter les pales dans la direction opposée à celle dans laquelle une éolienne à pas variable l'aurait fait, ce qui a pour conséquence d'augmenter l'angle d'attaque des pales du rotor pour faire décrocher les pales encore plus, supprimant ainsi l'excès d'énergie du vent. 3, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9gulation%20active%20par%20d%C3%A9crochage%20a%C3%A9rodynamique
