Wind turbine comprising a torque dampening unit

摘要

The present invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a rotor with two or three wind turbine blades, a generator unit connected to the rotor via rotatable a main shaft, and a wind turbine tower. The nacelle of the wind turbine comprises a supporting mainframe for transferring loads from the rotor and the generator unit to the wind turbine tower. The main shaft is arranged in a flange tube which is connected to the generator unit and to a torque dampening unit. The torque dampening unit acts as a support for the generator unit and is aligned with the wind turbine tower for an optimal transfer of loads. This configuration provides a flexible interface that allows for a simple and easy modification of the generator configuration or replacement of the generator unit.
