If the hydraulic proportional valve receives a 4-20 mA current loop signal to control the hydraulic cylinder that extends or retracts to set the position of the blade pitch between 0 and 90 degrees, what is the value of the electrical signal needs to be sent to the proportional valve to set the cylinder rod to extend to 75 so the blade pitch is set at 67.5 degrees?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Why is constant rotational speed of the generator shaft important for many wind turbines?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

The range of 4-20 mA is 16 mA.

16 mA/90 degrees = 0.178 mA/degree + 4 mA offset (0.178 mA x 67.5 degrees + 4 mA) = 16 mA.

Answer to Question 2

For ac generators, a constant rotor speed simplifies maintaining a constant frequency.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
