ABSTRACT:
A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine includes a tower including a yaw interface, a bladed rotor including at least one blade rotatable in response to wind impinging upon the at least one blade, and a beam structure configured to support the bladed rotor. The beam structure includes at least two beam members. Each of the at least two beam members is coupled to the yaw interface by at least one joint element, so that the bladed rotor is rotatable about a yaw axis of the wind turbine. At least two of the joint elements are spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the tower. Further, another wind turbine including a yaw interface and a method for controlling a yaw angle of a wind turbine are also provided.
