  • Transmission system for a wind power plant
    Patent number: 11378062
    Abstract: A method of replacing components of a gearbox and a gearbox of the wind power plant for a wind turbine includes a gearbox with a sun gear couplable to a rotor of a wind power plant. The sun gear is arranged rotatably about a rotor axis. The gearbox has a plurality of satellite units and a plurality of generators. Each satellite unit has two gear shafts and one output shaft. The two gear shafts are respectively in engagement with the sun gear and the output shaft. Each generator is associated with one of the plurality of satellite units. The plurality of satellite units are arranged and distributed over a periphery of the sun gear and are operatively connected with the sun gear. The plurality of satellite units have a modular configuration design and are releasably arranged at the sun gear.
