  • Publication number: 20220399767
    Abstract: A generator for a wind turbine has a rotor and a stator separated radially by an air gap, wherein the stator includes at least one stator segment, which includes a stack of lamination sheets and at least one stator winding, and a stator support structure supporting the at least one stator segment, wherein the generator further includes a cooling arrangement for providing cooling fluid at least to the air gap, wherein the cooling arrangement further includes a cooling fluid flow dividing element for dividing an incoming cooling fluid flow to the stator into a first partial cooling fluid flow directed to the air gap and a second partial cooling fluid flow directed to the stator support structure.

  • Publication number: 20220372952
    Abstract: Provided is a control device configured to control a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a rotor being rotatable about a rotational axis, wherein the rotor has at least one blade, the blade including at least one add-on member which is actuated by a corresponding trim actuator to alter aerodynamic properties of the blade and a pitch actuator to alter a pitch angle of the blade. The control device is configured to determine an idling mode or a self-sustaining mode of the wind turbine; to control the pitch actuator to set a predetermined pitch angle of the blade, if the idling mode or the self-sustaining mode is determined; and to cause a target rotational speed of the rotor by variably controlling the trim actuator of the blade, if the idling mode or the self-sustaining mode is determined.
