1. A blade pitch-controlled wind turbine system comprising:
a support assembly including a tower, wherein said support assembly also includes an elongate support member supported upon said tower; a turbine rotor assembly supported upon said support assembly, wherein said turbine rotor assembly includes a hub member rotatably disposed upon said elongate support member, wherein said turbine rotor assembly also includes blade support members rotatably and pivotally mounted to said hub member, wherein said turbine rotor assembly further includes blades each disposed upon a respective said blade support member; and a blade pitch control assembly supported upon said support assembly and in communication with said turbine rotor assembly, wherein said blade pitch control assembly also includes an actuator having a rotatable member and being in communication with said blade support members for adjusting a pitch of said blades relative to the wind, and also includes a brake mechanism being in communication with said rotatable member to effectively brake said rotatable member with said blades being at selected stationary pitches. |
