The Furling System: An Underappreciated but Crucial Component

When people think about wind turbines, they often focus on blades and power output. However, the furling system is one of the most important components. In Borrum Energy Solutions' Anorra turbines, this system plays a key role in protecting your wind turbine investment.

The furling system automatically adjusts the angle of the turbine blades and the wind in high wind conditions, preventing the blades from spinning too fast. This reduces strain, limits wear and tear, and helps extend the turbine's lifespan.

Borrum's furling system is passively controlled, meaning it relies on aerodynamics and gravity rather than electronics, springs, or coils. This results in:

-          Fewer points of failure

-          Minimal maintenance

-          Consistent performance over time

It allows the turbine to maximize energy production in normal winds while seamlessly protecting itself when conditions become extreme. Constructed from aluminum and galvanized steel, the furling components are strong, lightweight, and resistant to harsh weather, ensuring durability where it matters most.

The Anorra turbine's yaw-furling system is designed to balance performance and protection. While it may not be the most visible component, it plays a vital role in extending your system's life and maximizing your return.
