1. A wind turbine system comprising:

  • a system controller configured to receive at least one output from at least one measurement device;

    an anemometer in communication with the system controller, the anemometer for measuring wind speed;

    a temperature sensor in communication with the system controller, the temperature sensor for measuring ambient temperature;

    a transmission;

    a load cell coupled to the transmission and in communication with the system controller, the load cell configured to measure the torque output of the transmission,wherein the system controller receives wind speed, ambient temperature and load cell information and determines optimal power outputs of the wind turbine for a weather condition.
