Abstract
A wind turbine for generating electric energy including a tower equipped with rotatable nacelle with rotor which is rotatable about a horizontal rotational axis and which comprises an electric generator. The wind turbine additionally comprises a device for determining flow direction and speed of the wind and a device for or regulating the alignment of the rotor against the wind. The device for determining speed and flow direction comprises pair of receiving antennas, for obtaining electric signals using electrically influenced particles, molecules carried by the wind and are supplied to a correlation measurement device. Here, the time needed by the electrically influenced particles/molecules to traverse the distance between the receiving antennas of a pair of receiving antennas is determined. Subsequently, speed and flow direction of the wind are calculated in a computing device and are supplied to the device for controlling or regulating the alignment of the rotor.
