increased too much, the wind turbine would shut down.
It doesn't shut down in the way you are thinking. The blades do not
come to a halt. That would provide too much stress on the blade
mountings. The turbine is simply disconnected from the generator
So when I (regularly) see one or two out of a large group of wind
turbines not turning on a windy day when all the rest are spinning
quite quickly then the blades haven't really come to a halt and any
lack of rotation is purely a figment of my imagination?
Probably halted for maintenance.
