WIND TURBINE HAVING AN EXTERNAL-ROTOR GENERATOR

摘要

The invention aims to provide a cost-reduced and weight-optimized wind turbine (1), in which the bending motion of the rotor caused by different wind conditions at the rotor blades can be reliably removed. A wind turbine (1) is proposed, which has a carrier (2), a rotor hub (7) for bearing at least one rotor blade, and an electrical generator (6), which is arranged between the rotor hub (7) and a tower and which is formed as an external rotor. A rotor (10) of the generator (6) and the rotor hub (7) are rotatably supported on the carrier (2), wherein a common bearing (14) is provided for the rotor hub (7) and the rotor (10), by means of which bearing both the rotor hub (7) and the rotor (10) are rotatably supported on the carrier (2).
