摘要: A nacelle assembly for a wind turbine is connected to a wind turbine tower through a yaw system and includes a front region coupled to a rotor having a rotor hub and at least one rotor blade. The nacelle assembly includes a nacelle having a cover structure to house wind turbine components and an add-on wind flow deflector system that is coupled to an outside of the cover structure. The wind flow deflector system guides wind flowing to the nacelle for reducing a drag of the nacelle when a wind direction is misaligned with respect to the longitudinal wind direction in a yaw system failure event.

摘要: The disclosure relates to a nacelle configured to be mounted on top of a wind turbine tower, comprising a nacelle hatch for covering a nacelle opening at a side of the nacelle facing a wind turbine hub. The nacelle hatch is completely supported by the nacelle when the hatch is closed, and the nacelle hatch forms a passageway to an opening in the wind turbine hub at a side of the wind turbine hub facing the nacelle when the hatch is opened. The passageway comprises a first side structure at least partially obstructing a downwards view on a first side of the hub and a second side structure at least partially obstructing a downwards view on a second side of the hub, the second side being opposite to the first side. The present disclosure further relates to wind turbines and to methods for accessing a wind turbine hub from a nacelle.

摘要: A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine comprises: a generator (162), one or more power converters (20) arranged between the generator and a point of connection to a main transformer (5), and one or more wind turbine electrical components (8, 9, 10). The main transformer (5) is configured to connect a busbar (60) to an auxiliary wind turbine transformer, wherein the busbar is configured to receive electrical power from an electrical grid with a main voltage. The wind turbine electrical components are configured to be connected to the auxiliary wind turbine transformer (6), wherein a selection of the wind turbine electrical components is further configured to be connected to the busbar through a service voltage transformer (7) when the main transformer (5) is disconnected from the busbar. Systems comprising such wind turbines are also provided. Methods for connecting a wind turbine main transformer to a grid are also provided.
