| Value | What it does | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| tsr curve | A target tip-speed ratio driving a torque controller from a lookup curve; the user must specify a tip speed ratio curve. | |
| fixed | For a fixed controller the user must specify an angular velocity and blade pitch angle. | |
| schedule | Sets pitch and rotational speed by interpolating | Not available from a validated deck, as the schema does not accept |
