Embodiment Construction

[0055] It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the embodiment of the invention, have been given by way of illustration only, and that various changes and modifications from the detailed description will be within the spirit and scope of the invention. It's obvious to people.

[0056] figure 1 A wind turbine 1 comprising a load carrying structure 5 , 5 ′ and four energy generating units 2 is illustrated. A load carrying structure 5 is connected to each energy generating unit 2 and holds the energy generating unit above the ground. The energy generating unit 2 houses a facility 8 that requires a specific orientation with respect to gravity in order to operate.

[0057] The energy generating units 2 each comprise an adaptation structure 7 arranged between the load carrying structure 5 and the facility 8 . The adaptation structure 7 facilitates a first configuration in which the facility 8 is in a first position relative to ...

Abstract

The invention provides a wind turbine comprising a load carrying structure and an energy generating unit. The load carrying structure is connected to the energy generating unit and holds the energy generating unit above ground. The energy generating unit houses a facility which requires a particular orientation relative to gravity for being operational. Furthermore, the energy generating unit comprises an adaptation structure e.g. arranged between the load carrying structure and the facility. The adaptation structure facilitates a first configuration with a first position of the facility relative to the load carrying structure, and a second configuration with a second position of the facility relative to the load carrying structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a wind turbine comprising a load carrying structure and an energy generating unit. The load carrying structure may eg be in the form of a vertical tower typically used on horizontal axis wind turbines, or in the form of a non-vertical arm typically used on multi-rotor wind turbines. [0002] The load carrying structure holds the energy generating unit above ground and the energy generating unit houses the plant, rotor shaft and main frame. The main frame transfers loads between the rotor shaft and the load carrying structure, and the rotor shaft forms the rotor axis of rotation for the hub, blades and optionally power generating components of the drivetrain. The facility is a component that requires a specific orientation with respect to gravity. [0003] The invention also relates to an energy generating unit and a method of deploying an energy generating unit to a load carrying structure of a wind turbine. Backgrou...
