CommentsThe protection of a turbine requires a device which ensures the turbine does not automatically restart once a protective trip resets. EG if an overspeed trip occurs you do not want the turbine to resume operation as soon as it slows down below trip speed as it could cycle into overspeed again and continue repeating the cycle.

The trip logic therefore includes a lockout which must be manually reset before the turbine valves can be opened again.

All sorts of devices are used but most commonly a hydraulic valve which isolates oil from the stop valves. It is separate from the trip solonoid but may be part of the overspeed trip hydraulics

It was common for the hydraulic valve to have a mechanism referred to as a latch because once it opened it stayed open until the oil pressure was lost again. In electrical terms it is a seal in relay

Resetting this device is called latching the turbine

What is meant by pitch angle in wind turbine?

Pitch angle in a wind turbine refers to the angle of the rotor blades relative to the oncoming wind. By adjusting the pitch angle, the turbine can regulate the amount of wind captured and optimize energy production. Changing the pitch angle allows the turbine to operate efficiently in varying wind conditions, maximizing energy output.
