A variable ratio gear system is configured for use with a constant speed generator (104) being driven by a variable speed rotor (102). The variable ratio system includes three shafts: The first shaft (144) is mechanically coupled to the rotor (102); the second shaft (160) is mechanically coupled to a variable gear system; and the third shaft (158) is mechanically coupled to the generator (104) and the variable gear system. A control system (109) is configured to adjust the output of the variable gear system to control the rotational speed of the generator (104). A brake (188) is configured to control the rotation of the second shaft (160).

Some general aspects of the invention provide a method for operating a wind energy converter having a variable-ratio gear system (906, 172-178) mechanically coupled between a rotor (102) and a generator (104), wherein the variable-ratio gear system (906, 172-178) includes a first transmission unit (174) coupled to a first shaft (168) and a second transmission unit (172) coupled to a second shaft (165). The method comprises adjusting the variable-ratio gear system (906, 172-178) to a first gear ratio at which the first shaft (168) substantially does not rotate; determining a wind speed (300) or a related parameter (n, P, p); detecting whether the wind speed (300) or the related parameter (n, P, p) has crossed a first threshold value (310) in a first direction; and adjusting the variable-ratio gear system (906, 172-178), when the wind speed (300) or the related parameter (n, P, p) has crossed the first threshold value (310) in the first direction, to a second gear ratio at which the second shaft (165) substantially does not rotate. Under further aspects, the invention provides a control device (190) for a wind energy converter having a variable-ratio gear system and a wind energy converter comprising the control device (190).

Some general aspects of the invention provide a device (151, 152, 114) for adjustment of a pivotally mounted rotor blade (101) of a wind energy converter. The device comprises a first drive (151) and a second drive (152) that cooperate to turn the rotor blade (101) between an operating position and a feathered position. The device further comprises a first activatable lockout (191) connected to the rotor blade (101), which in an activated state prevents turning of the rotor blade (101) into the operating position, but allows turning of the rotor blade (101) into the feathered position. Under further aspects, the invention provides a wind energy converter comprising the device (151, 152, 114) and a method for adjusting a rotor blade (101), which is pivotally mounted on a rotor hub (103) of a wind energy converter.
