  • Patent number: 11831226
    Abstract: In a first aspect of the invention there is provided a generator for a wind turbine defining a central generator axis. The generator includes a stator support frame and an environmental conditioning module removably attached to the stator support frame. The environmental conditioning module includes a heat exchanger and an air mover supported by a module housing. The environmental conditioning module further includes fluid interface connections associated with the heat exchanger, the fluid interface connections being releasably connectable to a fluid supply system associated with the heat exchanger, and electrical interface connections associated with the air blower, the electrical interface connections being releasably connectable to an electrical supply system associated with the air mover.

  • Publication number: 20230041688
    Abstract: The invention relates to a generator for a wind turbine including a housing of substantially cuboidal form within which is mounted a stator. The stator has one or more multi-phase windings and a bus ring is provided for conveying electrical power from the windings to power take-off modules. One end of the power take-off modules is connected to the bus ring, and the other end of the modules has a plurality of power take-off interfaces for connection to power take-off cables. The distal ends of the power take-off modules are located in the corners of the cuboidal generator housing.

  • Publication number: 20220065229
    Abstract: A generator (24) for a wind turbine (1) comprises a rotor (32) with an axis of rotation, a stator and a radial and/or axial locking mechanism. The radial locking mechanism comprises a plurality of radial locks (60) with a fixed portion (70) coupled to the stator and a movable elongate portion (72) configured to move relative to the fixed portion (70) and radially with respect to the axis of the rotation to lock the stator in a radial direction. The rotor (32) may comprise at least one lock engagement feature (86) arranged at its end surface and an end shield (90) located axially outward and at least partially adjacent the end surface. The end shield (90) comprises at least one opening enabling access to the end surface of the rotor (32).
