    摘要: A wind turbine comprising a nacelle (1) is disclosed. The nacelle (1) accommodates at least a generator (3) and power electronics electrically interconnected between the generator (3) and a power grid. At least one power electronic component (10, 11, 12) is removably arranged in the nacelle (1) in a region positioned between a floor level of the nacelle (1) and a lower limiting surface, e.g. a bottom wall, of the nacelle (1). The space available in the interior parts of the nacelle (1) is thereby utilised to a greater extent than in prior art wind turbines, and replacement of a power electronic component (10, 11, 12) can be performed using ordinary lifting equipment. Furthermore, the risk of injury to maintenance personnel is reduced.

    摘要: A generator (5) for a wind turbine (1) is disclosed. The generator (5) comprises a rotor (3) configured to rotate about a rotational axis, and at least one stator (4) arranged next to the rotor (3). Each stator (4) comprises at least two subunits (8), the subunits (8) being arranged side-by-side along a moving direction of the rotor (3). Each subunit (8) comprises at least one flux-generating module (9) facing the rotor (3) but spaced therefrom, thereby defining an air gap between the rotor (3) and each flux-generating module (9). The subunits (8) are movable relative to each other along a direction which is substantially transverse to the moving direction of the rotor (3). This allows a subunit (8) to move in a manner which adjusts the air gap without affecting the position and the air gap of a neighbouring subunit (8). Thereby variations in the rotor (3) can be compensated and a uniform and constant air gap can be maintained. The invention further provides a wind turbine (1) comprising such a generator (5) and a method for performing service on a generator (5).

The thermoelectric element is configured to transfer heat from the first region of relatively high temperature to the second region of relatively low temperature with consumption of electrical energy. A source of electrical energy is provided for the thermoelectric element, and a control unit may be provided for controlling the energy supply in order to control the temperature of the component or surface area cooled by the thermoelectric element. A further cooling element including a so-called heat pipe may be provided to enhance cooling efficiency.
