Abstract
A fluid-turbine system has a yaw method that employs a unidirectional, functional passive-yaw system in combination with controlling-active and supporting-active yaw systems. The combination active and passive yaw system has a yaw pivot point that is laterally offset from the turbine's central axis. The system yaws the turbine into the fluid-flow direction and to an orientation perpendicular to the fluid stream, protecting the turbine in the event of excessive winds, loss of connection to grid power, or other system-protection modes.
