Horizontal-axis wind turbines must face into the wind to produce power and, therefore, require some mechanism to constantly realign the rotor during changes in wind direction.
A. Horizontal-axis wind turbines
B. Vertical-axis wind turbines
C. Multidirectional-axis wind turbines
D. Diagonal-axis wind turbines
Answer (2)
The correct option is Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs), which require a mechanism to realign with the wind direction for efficient energy production. They utilize a yaw system for this adjustment. In contrast, Vertical-axis wind turbines can capture wind from any direction without this need.

Wind turbines, particularly Horizontal-axis wind turbines , must face into the wind to generate power efficiently. They utilize yaw mechanisms for realignment with changing wind directions. In contrast, Vertical-axis wind turbines do not require this adjustment due to their design. ;
