  • Patent number: 10415751
    Abstract: A wind turbine having a nacelle with a stationary region and a rotor, at least one blocking unit for blocking the rotor, and an access control system is provided. The access control system controls a locking of at least one access door to at least one closed-off region in the wind turbine depending on a blocking of the rotor by means of the least one blocking unit. The access control system has a key transfer system and a hydraulic control unit for controlling the blocking unit. The key transfer system has a hydraulic key unit for preventing an unintentional activation of the hydraulic unit and an access door key unit for locking or unlocking the access door.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9157577
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the locking of the opening of a door preferably located between the stationary part and the rotary part of a wind power plant. According to the invention, means are provided for immobilizing or stopping the rotary part, and the door between the rotary part and the stationary part of the wind power plant comprises a lock that allows unlocking and then if required opening the door when the immobilizing or stopping means have immobilized or stopped the rotary part of the wind power plant.
