  • Patent number: 9447777
    Abstract: A turbine power plant is disclosed for generating electrical energy from a fluid flow, comprising a gondola rotatably mounted on a pedestal, particularly a tower, comprising a drivetrain, designed for converting the energy applied to the rotor into electrical energy by a rotor driven by the fluid flow and by means of functional components designed for supporting the rotor and/or for supporting the gearbox and/or for converting energy. At least one of the functional components listed above has an operationally fixed connection for transmitting static and dynamic loads from the drivetrain to the tower.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8647224
    Abstract: A generator arrangement for a wind power plant includes a ring-shaped primary part, a ringshaped secondary part, and a planetary transmission arrangement disposed inside the primary part and the secondary part. The planetary transmission arrangement comprises an internal gear, a sun gear, and at least two planet gears. The sun gear is substantially ringshaped, having an inner wall, and outer wall, and a web connecting the inner wall and the outer wall. The internal gear is disposed between the inner wall and the outer wall of the sun gear and is supported at the outer wall of the sun gear.

  • Publication number: 20120169052
    Abstract: A wind power plant for converting wind power of a wind field into electrical energy. The wind power plant includes at least one wind power device having a wind measurement device. Furthermore, the wind power plant comprises a central storage device in which wind profile patterns are stored in a wind profile pattern table. The wind measurement device predictively detects current wind measurement values. The wind power plant has a central pattern recognition device that correlates the current wind measurement values of the wind measurement device with the stored wind profile patterns of the wind profile pattern table. A central control device individually controls each single wind power device of the wind power plant as a function of a wind profile pattern determined by correlation.
