04 May 2018TL;DR: In this article, a wind energy park comprising a number of wind turbines is described, where each wind turbine comprises a tower (1) placed on a foundation, at least one nacelle (3) mounted on the tower and a rotor (4) coupled to the nacelles generating electrical energy for a power grid.
Abstract: A wind energy park comprising a number of wind turbines (1) is disclosed. Each wind turbine (1) comprises a tower (2) placed on a foundation, at least one nacelle (3) mounted on the tower (2) and a rotor (4) coupled to the nacelle (3) generating electrical energy for a power grid of the wind energy park. The wind energy park further comprises at least one airborne wind energy system (12, 13) coupled to one of the wind turbines (1) via a cable (6).

19 Jul 2012TL;DR: In this article, a production facility for forming elongated products, in particular wind turbine blades, is described, where an appropriate transport system (150, 250, 350, 450, 550) comprising at least one support member (251a-h,151, 251, 351, 451, 551) is laterally positioned between the elongated mould assemblies.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a production facility (100, 200, 300, 400, 500) for forming elongated products, in particular wind turbine blades, wherein elongated mould assemblies (110a, 110b, 210a, 210b, 310a, 310b, 410a, 410b, 510a, 510b) may be accessed on the basis of an appropriate transport system (150, 250, 350, 450, 550) comprising at least one support member (251a-h,151, 251, 351, 451, 551) laterally positioned between the elongated mould assemblies. The support member (251a-h,151, 251, 351, 451, 551) is positioned so as to enable a rotational movement of an arm (121a, 121b, 221a) or is configured to change position or comprises a rotatable carrier element (259). For example, an elongated support member (151, 251, 351, 451, 551) may be positioned in a non-interference position, in which one or both mould assemblies can be moved into a position so as to form a composite mould assembly.

02 Feb 2015TL;DR: In this paper, a wind turbine tower access panel is removably fixable at a service aperture in a tower wall to close said aperture, and a set of two or more fixing elements are configured to securely fix said access panel in place at a said aperture.
Abstract: The invention relates to a wind turbine tower access panel, which panel is removably fixable at a service aperture in a tower wall to thereby close said aperture; said access panel being generally planar and extending radially about an axis normal thereto, said access panel comprising a set of two or more fixing elements configured to securely fix said access panel in place at a said aperture; wherein each said fixing element comprises an axial clamp, said clamp comprising an anchor fixed to said access panel, a clamping force adjuster and a clamp head having a clamping surface; said clamp head comprising a relatively deformable resilient material which deforms under an applied clamping load of said clamp thereby applying a clamping force to said tower wall.

20 Oct 2014TL;DR: In this paper, a lightning current transfer system adapted for usage in a wind turbine (W) having a hub (40) rotatably supported relative to a nacelle (50) and a plurality of pitchable blades (20) connected with the hub (20).
Abstract: This invention relates to a lightning current transfer system adapted for usage in a wind turbine (W) having a hub (40) rotatably supported relative to a nacelle (50) and a plurality of pitchable blades (20) connected with the hub (20). The system (100) comprises a blade band (10) mountable to the root of the blade (10) and a lightning ring (30) mountable to the nacelle (50). The lightning ring (30) and the blade band (10) are positioned relative to each other to form a spark gap (SG) there between.
