UTRC 8 kW wind turbine tests

OSTI ID:5414564
The United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) 8 kW prototype wind turbine became operational in July 1979 and underwent testing in East Hartford, CT until delivery to Rockwell International, the prime contractor, in February 1980. The program will continue with the field evaluation by Rockwell at their Rocky Flats site during 1980. The prototype testing demonstrated the basic operation of the unique control concept of the UTRC Composite Bearingless Wind Turbine which utilizes a hub-mounted pendulum employed to twist the graphite composite inboard region of the blade producing blade pitch variations. The tests also demonstrated the predicted performance of 9 kW at 20 mph, and the high speed stall control feature.
