  • Direct drive wind turbine
    Patent number: 7183665
    Abstract: A wind turbine is provided that minimizes the size of the drive train and nacelle while maintaining the power electronics and transformer at the top of the tower. The turbine includes a direct drive generator having an integrated disk brake positioned radially inside the stator while minimizing the potential for contamination. The turbine further includes a means for mounting a transformer below the nacelle within the tower.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 27, 2007
    Assignee: Northern Power Systems, Inc.
    Inventors: Garrett Bywaters, William Danforth, Christopher Bevington, Stowell Jesse, Daniel Costin
