NACELLE HOUSING WITH SERVICE HATCH
A nacelle housing of a nacelle of a wind turbine is provided. The nacelle housing includes a ventilation opening of a cooling system of the wind turbine, a cover closing the ventilation opening, the cover being configured to allow an airflow through the cover and the ventilation opening, and a service hatch for hoisting a load into or out of the nacelle housing. The service hatch is provided by the ventilation opening and the cover, wherein the cover is configured as a service door of the service hatch that is opened to allow the hoisting of a load through the ventilation opening into or out of the nacelle housing. Furthermore, a method of hoisting a load into or out of a nacelle housing of a wind turbine is provided.
Heli-hoist platform for wind turbine
A heli-hoist platform for a wind turbine includes: a deck plate accessible by a worker from a helicopter; a barrier provided along the periphery of the deck plate; and a pair of support brackets extending along a longitudinal direction of the heli-hoist platform at both ends in a width direction of the deck plate.
Nacelle for a wind turbine
A nacelle for a wind turbine, the nacelle comprising: a drivetrain with a drivetrain axis, at least two torque arms positioned around the drivetrain axis and attached to a member of the drivetrain, and a frame attached to a yaw bearing. The torque arms of the drive train are supported by the frame and at least one of the torque arms has an orientation deviating at least substantially from being horizontal.
WIND TURBINE NACELLES
The present disclosure relates to wind turbine nacelles (16), comprising a housing including a front side (270), and a rear side (250) separated from the front side along an axial direction (x), first and second sidewalls (260) extending from the front side to the rear side and a roof. The roof comprises one or more roof panels (210, 220, 230, 240), and at least one of the roof panels is a displaceable roof panel configured to be displaced relative along the axial direction (x) to another part of the roof to provide access to the nacelle (16) from above. The present disclosure further relates to methods for providing access to an inside of the nacelle.
NACELLE COVER PANEL
The present disclosure is related to nacelle cover panels and nacelle cover assemblies. The nacelle cover panel is configured to be mounted in a nacelle of a wind turbine. Further, the nacelle cover panel comprises a composite panel including at least an outer roof surface and an inner surface, and a structural frame coupled to the composite panel. Methods of providing a nacelle assembly are also disclosed.
Assembly and method for preventing exposure of personnel to an opening defined by a surface of a wind turbine
An assembly and method are provided for preventing exposure of personnel to an opening defined by a surface of a wind turbine. Accordingly, a hatch assembly is arranged adjacent to the opening. The hatch assembly includes a frame structure and a support structure. The frame structure includes a plurality of frame members arranged together to at least partially surrounded opening the plurality of frame members further define a passageway for receiving the support surface. The support surface is slidable between a first position and a second position. The support surface occludes the opening defined by the surface of the wind turbine when the support surface is in the first position and occludes the passageway defined by the plurality frame members when in the second position so as to prevent exposure of personnel to the opening.
WIND TURBINE, METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A TRANSFORMER AND WIND TURBINE NACELLE
A wind turbine with a nacelle with a nacelle floor is thus provided. The wind turbine further has an aerodynamic rotor with at least two rotor blades. The wind turbine further has a tower, on which the nacelle is arranged. At least one first and second opening are provided in the nacelle floor. The first opening is used to transport first components of the wind turbine, and has corresponding first dimensions. The second opening has second dimensions, and is used to transport a transformer into the nacelle. The transformer has a floor that closes the second opening when the transformer has been conveyed through the second opening into the nacelle and mounted in the nacelle.
PLATFORM FOR A HUB OF A WIND TURBINE
A platform assembly for a hub of a wind turbine is configured to provide a working surface inside the hub. The platform assembly includes a first platform coupled to a hub access structure, wherein the hub access structure extends in an axial direction between a nacelle of the wind turbine and the hub and provides access from the nacelle to the hub.
Wind turbine nacelle structure and a method of assembling a wind turbine nacelle structure
A nacelle of a wind turbine generator comprising: a base frame (10) that is separate from and which supports a main bearing housing (12), in use, the base frame (10) being configured to connect with a lower portion of the main bearing housing (12); and a nacelle structure (8) that is separate from and which is connected to the base frame (10) at a first connection, wherein that nacelle structure (8) extends away from the base frame (10) and defines at least in part an interior nacelle volume; characterised in that the nacelle structure (8) is connected to the main bearing housing (12) by way of a second connection at a point arranged above a plane of a rotor axis of the main bearing housing (12).
Lift system mountable in a nacelle of a wind turbine
A lift system mountable in a nacelle of a wind turbine has a mounting interface removably securable to a generator in the nacelle of the wind turbine, and a knuckle boom rotatably and removably mounted on the mounting interface. The knuckle boom has an extendable boom arm having a translatable boom section slidably mounted on the boom arm. Modularity of the lift system permits lifting components of the lift system up to the nacelle using an existing service crane of the wind turbine, and rapidly dismounting the knuckle boom to permit closing doors of the nacelle in the event of inclement weather without dismounting all of the lift system components.
