Pitch Regulation. Once the rated wind speed has been reached, a WT [wind turbine] will be unable to make use of all of the wind energy incident on the rotor plane and must shed some. A pitch-regulated WT [wind turbine] will do this [namely] by pitching the blades to increase the angle of attack to cause sections of the blade to stall(in pitch-to-stall machines). 4, record 1, English, - fixed%2Dpitch%20wind%20turbine
