  • Direct-drive superconducting synchronous generator for a wind turbine
    Patent number: 9407126
    Abstract: The invention refers to a direct drive electric generator for a wind turbine provided with rotor salient poles and a ladder-like cryostat for housing superconductive coils and keeping them at a cryogenic temperature while the interior of the cryostat is kept free of coolant. The invention achieves optimal thermal insulation of the coils without the need of a continuous re-filling of the cryostat and ensuring a good distribution of the magnetic field avoiding the use of expensive materials.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for interconnecting umbilicals for conveying energy, fluids and/or data in a marine environment
    Patent number: 9395021
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interconnection system and method for interconnecting hoses (40) for transmitting power, fluids, data, or any combination thereof in a marine environment by means of a leak-tight device (10) in the inlets (230) of which terminal covers (30) for the passage of umbilicals and blind covers (80) for sealing said inlets (230) can be interchanged, such that each of the hoses can be connected and disconnected independently. The inlets are arranged such that the umbilicals are laid according to one and the same direction and orientation.
