  • Patent number: 12253065
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a wind power installation which has a rotor having rotor blades that are adjustable in terms of their blade angle, and having a rotor diameter, wherein the rotor is able to be operated at a variable rotor rotating speed; and a region in which the rotor blades move forms a danger zone for birds and bats, the method comprising the following steps: checking whether a bird or bat approaching the wind power installation is an endangered bird and if an endangered bird has been identified, detecting a bird position as the current position of the endangered bird identified; and controlling the rotor rotating speed as a function of the bird position in relation to the wind power installation; wherein the rotor rotating speed is reduced in multiple stages or continuously as the distance of the bird position from the wind power installation decreases.

  • Publication number: 20240186858
    Abstract: An additively manufactured air gap winding for an electrical machine is provided. The air-gap winding includes a hollow cylindrical main portion having a geometric axis, the main portion defining an active winding length of the winding, and electrical winding conductors of the winding extending in the main portion from a first axial end of the winding to a second axial end. The air gap winding further comprises a first winding head at the first axial end and a second winding head at the second axial end, wherein winding head connections of the winding conductors extend in the winding heads. The winding heads project radially inwardly and/or outwardly beyond the hollow cylindrical main section. The winding head connections extend at least in sections at different distances from the axis in such a way that one winding head connection at least partially radially surrounds the other winding head connection.

  • Patent number: 11749638
    Abstract: A method for contacting and packaging a semiconductor chip of a power electronic component. The power electronic component has a first contact face produced in a first step via a multi-material printing process and a semiconductor chip, which is placed in a second step onto the first contact face. A ceramic insulation layer, which surrounds the semiconductor chip along its circumference and extends over the first contact face not covered by the semiconductor chip, is printed in a third step onto the first contact face. A second contact face is printed in a fourth step onto the ceramic insulation layer and the semiconductor chip. In a fifth step, the power electronic component is sintered by means of heat treatment.

  • Publication number: 20210060863
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing a component by means of 3D multi-material pressure and to a component part produced therewith, wherein metallic and ceramic pastes, mixed with powder and binding agents, for producing the component are applied in layers by means of an extrusion process and are shaped, and the printing process is monitored by means of a monitoring device in such a way that defects in the pressure are detected by means of a camera and the defects are eliminated and/or overfilling or underfilling of each printed layer in relation to the extrusion quantity is monitored by means of a camera and/or temporary blockages in the extrusion nozzle are detected by monitoring the pressure in the region of the extrusion nozzle and released by increasing the pressure. The device comprises a corresponding monitoring device. The device can also have a mixing and feeding device with a vacuum mixing container which is connected to a vibration device.
