[QUOTE="RuddyCrazy, post: 641896, member: 19700"] In order to shutdown a turbine one has to short out the turbine which does act as weak brake but in high winds the wind will overcome the brake and do much damage to the turbine. As posted above NEVER leave a turbine open circuit as it will over speed and self destruct so putting in place a diversion load is needed to ensure the turbine survives in strong wind. Now if the diversion load is greater than the output of of the turbine it will go into stall mode and be protected. [/QUOTE]
