20090045628 | THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR WIND TURBINE - A wind turbine includes a wind turbine tower and a power electronic control system located within the wind turbine tower. The power electronic control system includes heat generating components. The heat generating components are directly mounted to the inner surface of the wind turbine tower dissipating the heat generated by the heat generating components directly to the inner surface of the wind turbine tower. In this way, a good thermal conducting path to the entire wind turbine tower is provided. A method for conducting heat generated in electronic equipment housed within a wind turbine tower uses the tower as a heat sink for cooling purposes. | 02-19-2009 |
20100212956 | SAFETY PLUG FOR SEALING BUS BAR END CONNECTIONS - A sealed covering for exposed portions of electrical wires at an end of a protective tube, which houses a bus bar and has a cover shield, includes a plug. The plug includes two opposed hinged shells forming, when closed, a cavity for receiving a cable and a flange for engaging the cover shield.

20120056425 | STAND ALONE OPERATION SYSTEM FOR USE WITH UTILITY GRADE SYNCHRONOUS WIND TURBINE GENERATORS - Methods and system are provided for operating an energy producing device when a utility grid is unavailable. The energy producing device includes a power system receiving power from a generator of the energy producing device. The power system includes a main power component and an accessory power component, where the received power is provided to the main power component and accessory power component depending upon the availability of the utility grid. The main power component provides the received power to the utility grid and the accessory power component provides power to accessories of the energy producing device, wherein the power includes the received power and power from an energy storage device included within the accessory power component. | 03-08-2012 |
20120070285 | INDEPENDENT, DISTRIBUTED PROTECTION AND SAFETY SYSTEM WITH FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION FOR WIND TURBINES - A safety system and method for monitoring the safety of a windmill turbine is disclosed. A protection safety master (PSM) controller is coupled to one or more input/output modules via an optic conductor. Safety components are individually coupled to and monitored by the modules. The modules are distributed throughout a wind turbine tower and provide status information about the safety components to the PSM controller. Based on data received, the PSM controller independently determines whether a fail-safe reaction should be initiated and initiates the fail-safe reaction accordingly. | 03-22-2012 |
20120087792 | EMERGENCY FEATHER RATE LIMIT WITH PROPORTIONALITY TO OPERATING PITCH ANGLE AND ENERGY STORAGE VOLTAGE - A system and method are disclosed for an emergency feathering control of a wind turbine during emergency feathering of the turbine blades that is independent of a turbine control and pitch control unit. A variable pitch rate controller generates commands to drive an AC servo motor for blade feathering. A first pitch rate is obtained with a back-up storage unit, such as a super capacitor. The commands from the controller vary the pitch rate of the blades during feathering in an emergency to a second pitch rate that is different from the first pitch rate. | 04-12-2012 |
20120267896 | Network Protection for Power Spot Networks - A power supply system having a spot network is disclosed.
