In the context of addressing global climate change and reducing carbon emissions,wind power,as a key component of clean energy,is receiving increasing attention.With the rapid growth of wind power installations,there is a trend towards larger and more efficient wind turbine generators.Yaw control strategies play a critical role in enhancing wind energy capture efficiency,reducing operational and maintenance costs,and extending the lifespan of wind turbines,thus serving as essential means to improve the economic viability and sustainability of wind power.This paper systematically reviews the current research status and development trends in yaw control strategies for wind turbines,with a focus on the structural design and aerodynamic characteristics of yaw systems.It particularly examines the impacts of various control strategies on turbine fatigue loads,wind energy capture efficiency,and wake effects.Finally,based on current research trends,the paper proposes directions and technical pathways for optimizing yaw control strategies,offering insights and references for achieving efficient yaw control in future wind turbines.
