A rotor (16) for a wind turbine generator (10) includes a rotatable hub (20) forming a cavity (25). A plurality of rotor blades (18) is connected to the hub. A heat sink (50) is at least partially positioned within the cavity and extends along a portion of a corresponding rotor blade. The heat sink includes a bottom surface (54) mounted on a thermal energy generating component of the wind turbine generator. An opposing top planar surface (56) includes a plurality of pins (58) extending therefrom. The pins form an air flow path through the pins to dissipate the generated thermal energy from the thermal energy generating component. |
