Dynamic stall is a non-linear unsteady aerodynamic effect that occurs when aerofoils rapidly change the angle of attack. The rapid change can cause a strong vortex to be shed from the leading edge of the aerofoil, and travel backwards above the wing. The vortex, containing high velocity airflows, briefly increases the lift produced by the wing. As soon as it passes behind the trailing edge, however, the lift reduces dramatically, and the wing is in normal stall. 5, record 1, English, - aerodynamic%20stall

One of the advantages of active stall is that one can control the power output more accurately than with passive stall, so as to avoid overshooting the rated power of the machine at the beginning of a gust of wind. Another advantage is that the machine can be run almost exactly at rated power at all high wind speeds. 5, record 3, English, - active%20stall%20controlled%20wind%20turbine

Un des atouts d'un tel système de régulation est qu'il est possible de contrôler la puissance de sortie de façon plus précise que par la régulation passive par décrochage aérodynamique, ce qui permet d'éviter une surévaluation de la puissance nominale de l'éolienne au début d'une rafale. Un autre avantage est le fait que l'éolienne peut fonctionner presque exactement à sa puissance nominale à toutes les vitesses du vent. 3, record 3, French, - %C3%A9olienne%20%C3%A0%20r%C3%A9gulation%20active%20par%20d%C3%A9crochage%20a%C3%A9rodynamique
