Hydraulic pitch systems are wholly different and seemingly more complex. A hydraulic pump, motor, and reservoir are required to pitch each turbine blade to the optimal position for power production. This regulates the blades angle based on wind speeds and the grid''s production needs. Typically, the pump and motor are mounted in

1 INTRODUCTION. Hydraulic transmission applied to wind energy is not a new concept, and early works by JERICO 1 showed that a lack of component availability is the main factor hindering its implementation.

P wind = wind power through rotor area, W; P rotor = wind power extracted by rotor, W; T = torque (N-m). These result in the following translations for speed and torque: (3) ω 2 = ω 1 × R 1 /R 2 (4) T 2 = T 1 × (R 2 /R 1) 2. The standard deviation of the torque with respect to the mean value is the same for both the original and the scaled
Furthermore, due to the contribution of all components to the total nacelle mass, the complete wind turbine support structure is designed to carry this weight for the entire expected lifetime, which in turn leads to extra material, weight and thus total cost of the wind turbine. As hydraulic transmission systems are generally used in high-load
