Abstract: A wind turbine system including a plurality of modules, each module including a frame and at least one wind turbine, a set of first electrically conductive members, and a set of second electrically conductive members. One of the first electrically conductive members is attached to a terminal of a generator and another of the first electrically conductive members is attached to another terminal of the generator to form a collection circuit configured to collect electricity generated by the turbine. The set of second electrically conductive members are connected to adjacent modules to form a concatenated string of second electrically conductive members to form a transmission circuit. The collected electricity is fed from the collection circuit to the transmission circuit along the concatenated string. At least one of the first electrically conductive members and at least one of the second electrically conductive members form structural rails of the frame.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating a splice seal includes structural members defining a heating area that receives a splice seal. At least one of the structural members is moveable between an open position and a closed position. At least one heat source is arranged in the heating area. The heat source directs infrared radiation toward the splice seal when the structural member is in the closed position. At least one cooling device cools the heating area when the structural member is in the closed position.

Abstract: A wire and cable insulation includes a wire or a cable having an inner layer and an outer layer of insulation. The outer layer includes an uncoated magnesium hydroxide. The inner layer and the outer layer each have less than 1 percentage by weight of halogen.

Abstract: An electric wire includes a conductive core, an inner sheath substantially surrounding the conductive core consisting of an extruded matrix of particulate material and binding material, and an outer sheath substantially surrounding the inner sheath.

Abstract: An apparatus for heating a splice seal includes structural members defining a heating area that receives a splice seal. At least one of the structural members is moveable between an open position and a closed position. At least one heat source is arranged in the heating area. The heat source directs infrared radiation toward the splice seal when the structural member is in the closed position. At least one cooling device cools the heating area when the structural member is in the closed position. A method for heating a splice seal includes providing structural members that define a heating area; supporting the splice seal in the heating area; directing infrared radiation toward the splice seal; and cooling the heating area with a cooling device simultaneously with directing the infrared radiation toward the splice seal.
