Nevertheless furling is discussed in Chap. 8 along with turbine yaw perfor-
mance and overspeed protection.
The Skystream and many other small turbines have a permanent magnet gen-
erator, PMG. Most of the remainder use standard induction motors. As with many
areas of turbine design, there is no unambiguous choice between generator types.
