The magnetic circuit of a generator in a wind power plant is arranged to directly supply a high supply voltage of 2-50 kV, preferably higher than 10 kV. The generator is provided with solid insulation and its winding includes a cable ( 6 ) comprising one or more current-carrying conductors ( 31 ) with a number of strands ( 36 ) surrounded by at least one outer and one inner semiconducting layer ( 34, 32 ) and intermediate insulating layers ( 33 ). The outer semiconducting layer ( 34 ) is at earth potential. The stator winding may be produced with full or fractional slot winding, the phases of the winding being Y-connected. The Y-point may be insulated and protected from over-voltage by means of surge arrestors, or else the Y-point may be earthed via a suppression filter. The invention also relates to a wind power plant, a generator included in the plant and a variable speed system for such a plant. |
