20080285903 | Bearing, A Wind Turbine And Methods Of Manufacturing A Bearing - The invention relates to a bearing for a wind turbine comprising bearing rings with raceways, and at least one row of bearing balls or rollers positioned between said raceways. At least one of said raceways comprises one or more indentation areas in relation to a standard shape of the raceways. The invention also relates to a wind turbine and methods for manufacturing a bearing. | 11-20-2008 |
20110293357 | SHRINK DISK CONNECTION FOR A WIND TURBINE - In order e.g. to provide a connection for connecting shafts in a wind turbine which is able to withstand a torque of a modern wind turbine, while still being relatively inexpensive, simple and effective to use, there is disclosed a connection including a first shaft and a second shaft which are inter-connectable by connecting an interconnection part of the first shaft and an interconnection part of the second shaft, and a shrinkable disk positioned and adapted so as to lock the first shaft to the second shaft by providing pressure to the interconnection parts of the first and second shaft when the interconnection parts are interconnected, and where the interconnection part of each of the first and second shafts comprises a plurality of friction surfaces transferring moment between the first and second shafts by friction. | 12-01-2011 |

20140345218 | TRANSITION STRUCTURE FOR A WIND TURBINE TOWER - A transition structure for a tower comprises a plurality of panels that each includes a panel body having opposed upper and lower ends, a lower mounting surface at the lower end, an upper mounting surface at the upper end, and a pair of lateral mounting surfaces at lateral edges. The upper mounting surfaces are generally planar, and the panel bodies taper from their upper mounting surface to their lower mounting surface. Each panel is mounted to at least another of the panels at corresponding lateral surfaces to form, with the upper ends, the shape that conforms to the lower end of the tower to be supported. The transition structure also comprises a plurality of footings, each having an upper end mated to the lower mounting surface of one of the panels, a lower end configured to mate with a post of a foundation, and a footing body between the upper and lower ends. | 11-27-2014 |
20150107181 | NODE STRUCTURES FOR LATTICE FRAMES - A node structure for connecting a member of a lattice frame to one or more other members of the frame comprises a hollow brace having opposed walls that converge outwardly at an acute angle in cross-section toward a central plane to connect at an outer edge. At least one root portion has a central longitudinal axis extending outwardly in the central plane of the brace for alignment with a member of the frame. The root portion has an inner end cut away at opposite sides around the central plane to leave a joining surface that intersects the converging walls of the brace while embracing an outer region of the brace extending inwardly from the outer edge. | 04-23-2015 |
