Summary:A wind turbine hybrid braking system 10 is presented. The system 10 includes a generator 22 coupled to a main shaft 16 of the wind turbine for generating and transmitting power. A mechanical brake 20 is coupled to the main shaft 16 for applying reaction torque upon braking of the wind turbine. The system 10 further includes an electrical braking circuit 32 coupled to the generator 22 for acting in conjunction with the mechanical brake 20 and dissipating active power via controlled switching.
