| 20120121419 | Wind Turbine - A wind turbine is described. The turbine includes a hub with one or more blades. The hub is rotatably mounted on a frame and operatively coupled to a shaft through a coupling plate mounted on the shaft. The shaft is provided at least partially internally to the frame, and the shaft is a substantially tubular hollow shaft. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120121413 | System And Method For Damping Vibrations In A Wind Turbine - The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a substantially tubular tower structure and one or more vibration damping systems. At least one of the one or more vibration damping systems include a plurality of bracing elements and a damping element. One of the bracing elements is connected to the tower structure. The bracing elements and damping element are linked in such a way that a local displacement of the tower structure causes an increased displacement of the damper along its longitudinal axis. The invention further provides a method of damping vibrations in a wind turbine tower using one or more toggle-brace vibration damping systems and a using a toggle-brace vibration damping system for damping vibrations in a wind turbine. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120045336 | Wind Turbine - A wind turbine comprising a hub carrying one or more blades, a frame, and a planetary gearing for transmitting the torque of the hub, the hub being rotatably mounted upon the frame at or near a distal end thereof, wherein the torque of the hub is introduced into the planetary gearing through a planet carrier of the gearing, the planet carrier being located at or near the distal end of said frame. | 02-23-2012 |
| 20110217173 | Wind Turbine Lubrication System - A wind turbine lubrication system comprising a pump for pumping lubricant through a lubrication circuit, said pump being driven by a power-take-off from the drive train of the wind turbine, characterised in that said pump for pumping lubricant drives at least a first hydraulic motor providing mechanical power to a first wind turbine auxiliary component. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110187122 | Method And System For Aligning A Wind Turbine Component - The invention relates to a method of aligning a wind turbine component with a wind turbine rotor hub, comprising providing the component with a support comprising at least one adjustable element and adjusting said at least one element to align the wind turbine component. The invention further relates to a system for aligning a wind turbine component with a wind turbine rotor hub comprising a support with at least one adjustable element supporting said wind turbine component, such that said wind turbine component can be aligned by adjusting said at least one element. | 08-04-2011 |
