  • Patent number: 9601962
    Abstract: Described is a wind turbine, a generator and a rotor housing for a generator with an external rotor, the rotor housing comprising a support structure, wherein the support structure is cylindrical shaped, a cone and a ring. The ring and the cone are attached together at an inner side of the cone in a horizontal plane, forming a front part of the rotor housing. The support structure is attached to the cone at a front end of the support structure, forming a side part of the rotor housing, and the support structure is formed out of segmented support structure parts. Also disclosed is the method for making the rotor housing.

  • Publication number: 20150256039
    Abstract: An outer structure of a generator is provided. A generator includes a rotor and a stator, whereby the generator is a radial flux electrical machine. An outer part of the generator is the stator or the rotor, whereby the outer part of the generator includes a support structure. The support structure is modular and the modules are arranged in rows. The modules are arranged in a staggered manner, so that a module in a first row of modules is connected to two modules of a second row abutting on the first row.

  • Publication number: 20120076630
    Abstract: A wind turbine component handling apparatus with a docking device, a lifting device, and a turning device is provided. A method for turning a wind turbine component is also provided. A plurality of pins is mounted to the wind turbine component. The wind turbine component is positioned at a support apparatus such that each pin rests in a cradle element of the support apparatus. The docking device is pushed in the horizontal direction such that openings in the docking device engage the pins. The docking device is lifted, wherein the wind turbine component is lifted by the pins and the docking device is rotated about a horizontal axis, wherein the wind turbine component is rotated about the horizontal axis by the pins. Then, the docking device is lowered until the pins mounted to the wind turbine component rest in the cradle elements of the support apparatus.
