  • Patent number: 9945255
    Abstract: It comprises a body that has an inertial asymmetrical and/or the body is asymmetrical in terms of geometry and/or mass of with respect to a XZ plane passing substantially through the centre of a wind turbine rotor for withstanding asymmetrical loads acting on the wind turbine. The inertia in sections of the structural member body at one side of the XZ plane may be 50% greater than the inertia in sections of the structural member body at another side of the XZ plane. The structural member may connect the wind turbine tower with the wind turbine rotor and may comprise at least two asymmetrical portions defined on both sides of the XZ plane which may be mutually asymmetrical reinforcing elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9926909
    Abstract: A locking arrangement comprises a locking member having a longitudinal axis that is contained in a working plane where shear forces are concentrated when the locking member is in a locking position. The working plane is arranged substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the parts to be locked when in said locking position in which at least one part of the wind turbine is prevented from being rotated relative to at least another part around said axis of rotation. A Wind turbine generator is provided having a rotor with a rotor flange portion and a stator with a stator flange portion, with both flange portions being complimentarily shaped and defining a locking housing for receiving said locking member.
