A wind turbine generally consists of a rotor, generator (including its components), stabiliser (tail), tower, speed limiter, and energy storage device. During operation, the rotating shaft cuts through the magnetic field, generating shaft voltage and current. When this current accumulates to a certain level, it can be transferred through the bearings to the wind turbine's end caps, causing electrical leakage between the end caps and the wind turbine casing, impacting operation and safety. The current solution primarily involves the use of insulated bearings to prevent this current from being transferred to the end caps.
