WIND TURBINE ROTOR AND WIND TURBINE

摘要

A wind turbine comprises a tower provided at the top with a horizontal shaft having an axis. A turbine rotor comprises turbine blades connected by a mounting arrangement to bearing members and to a rotor or a generator. Components of forces acting on the blades parallel to the axis are substantially exclusively communicated to the bearing members, for example by rigid straight members. Torque about the axis produced by the blades is communicated substantially exclusively to the rotor through a member.
