Embodiment Construction
[0018] FIG. 1 shows a wind turbine with a tower 10 and tower anchors 12 . The nacelle 14 is arranged to be rotatable about the axis of the tower 10 . In the nacelle 14 is mounted a rotor 16 which turns on the leeward side, ie the side of the tower 10 facing away from the wind. When the rotor is at rest under conditions of limited wind and the generator is still running, the blades are not deflected or only slightly deflected. The blades are mounted to the hub at a cone angle—that is, set to be inclined in the direction of the wind—so that when the generator is operating, centrifugal forces and wind shear forces result in substantially no bending moments at the blade roots. For wind speeds greater than the cut-out speed, the generator slows down and stops.
[0019] Figure 2 shows the generator in a deceleration state at extremely high wind speeds. The blade deflects two-thirds of its full length due to wind shear. Due to this significant deflection, the wind load is signifi...
