  • Patent number: 10352297
    Abstract: A wind power installation with a rotor which has two or more rotor blades and which is rotatably bearing-supported for rotation around a rotor rotation axis. The rotor is connected to a generator for generating electrical power. The rotor and the generator form a part of a turbine which is received by a turbine carrier. The turbine carrier is rotatably arranged at a supporting structure. The turbine is movably mounted in the turbine carrier via a bearing device so that the spatial position of the turbine in the turbine carrier can be modified. A pivoting range of the turbine corresponding to a pivoting range of the rotor rotation axis includes a first angle range and a second angle range relative to a reference plane, and the entire pivoting range is at least 120°.

  • Publication number: 20130106109
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a wind power installation (1) with a rotor (4) which has two or possibly more rotor blades (5) and which is rotatably bearing-supported for rotation around a rotor rotation axis (2). The rotor is connected to a generator for generating electrical power, and the rotor and the generator form a part of a turbine (T) which is received by a turbine carrier (3; 40), and the turbine carrier is rotatably arranged at a supporting structure (7). The turbine is movably mounted in the turbine carrier by means of a bearing device so that the spatial position of the turbine (T) in the turbine carrier can be modified, and a pivoting range of the turbine (T) corresponding to a pivoting range of the rotor rotation axis includes a first angle range and a second angle range relative to a reference plane, and the entire pivoting range is at least 120°.
