    摘要: A wind turbine comprises a mast that has a first end connected with a generator, and an opposing second end. A first vane frame includes a top member, a bottom member, and two opposing side members. A plurality of vanes are fixed between each side member of the vane frame, each vane configured for rotating between a closed position and an open position. The first vane frame is fixed along the mast with a similar second vane frame fixed on an opposing side of the mast. Actuator mechanisms are configured for rotating the vanes between the open and closed positions. Additional vane frames defined as first and second jibs are configured to extend outwardly from the vane frames. A controller actuates the vanes to maximize torque imparted to the mast by the wind. In a wind turbine system, three of the turbines are fixed on a rotatable platform.
