  • Patent number: 12292033
    Abstract: A wind turbine includes a tower, a nacelle supported rotatably at a top portion of the tower, a main cable for transporting electrical energy produced in the nacelle to a bottom portion of the tower, and at least one auxiliary cable guided from the nacelle to an intermediate portion between the top and bottom portion and/or to the bottom portion of the tower, wherein the main cable includes a first loop, and the at least one auxiliary cable includes a second loop, and the first and second loops are configured for compensating, independently from each other, a movement of the respective cable due to rotation of the nacelle relative to the tower. Thus, movement of the auxiliary cables caused by yawing of the nacelle will not affect movement of the main cable.
