  • Liquid containment assembly for a wind turbine
    Patent number: 10788019
    Abstract: The application relates to a liquid containment assembly (200) for a wind turbine (10), comprising: a support (202) for supporting wind turbine equipment (220); and a flexible container (300) suspended beneath the support (202). The flexible container (300) is arranged such that it is moveable between a collapsed position, in which the liquid containment assembly (200) has a first depth (D1), and an expanded position, in which the liquid containment assembly (200) has a second depth (D2), the second depth being greater than the first depth.

  • AN EQUIPMENT COMPARTMENT FRAME OF A POWER CONTROL MODULE OF A WIND POWER TURBINE AND METHODS RELATED THERETO
    Publication number: 20170122297
    Abstract: The invention relates to an equipment compartment frame of a power control module of a wind turbine. The frame includes a polygonal beam structure (17) in one plane and a plurality of standing beams (18) attached to the polygonal beam structure (17) at at least some of the corners of the polygonal beam structure (17). According to the invention, each standing beam (18) is attached to the polygonal beam structure (17) by means of a releasable joint (26, 27, 28). The invention also relates to methods for transporting and assembling such frames.
