Provided is a wind turbine, with at least one hollow construction including at least two longitudinal hollow elements each having a connection interface for connecting the elements either by a slip joint connection or by a flange connection especially a tower including at least two hollow tower elements, wherein at least one connector is guided through the slip joint or flange connection from an inner space to the outer of the wind turbine.

An enclosure and a dynamic heat dissipation method for a heat source inside the enclosure and a dynamic heat dissipation system are provided. The dynamic heat dissipation method includes: acquiring a relatively low temperature area of the enclosure; and driving the heat source to move to the relatively low temperature area. A heat source, which is conventionally at a relatively fixed position, is artificially and actively transformed into a mobile heat source, so as to allow the heat source to be self-adapted to the temperature field; a relatively low temperature area inside the enclosure is searched, taking advantage of the characteristics of temperature differences, the position of the heat source is adjusted and the heat dissipation layout is adjusted, thereby providing the heat source with an optimal heat transfer direction from inside to outside and an enclosure environment where the heat is dissipated at a maximum rate.

A wind turbine, in particular an offshore wind turbine includes at least one hollow structural element, at least one cable inlet arranged in a bottom region of the hollow structural element. A first platform is arranged inside the hollow structural element, above the bottom region. At least one flow opening is arranged in the shell surface of the hollow structural element and penetrating the shell surface. At least one active control element is flow-connected to the flow opening to affect a media exchange between the interior of the hollow structural element and the exterior of the hollow structural element.

A tower segment for at least a section of a tower includes a tower segment defining an interior, a longitudinal axis, and a wall, and a supply structural segment preassembled in the interior of the tower segment extending along a the longitudinal axis of the tower segment. The supply structural segment is movable relative to the tower segment and connected to the wall of the tower segment so that the supply structural segment can be moved at least from an assembly position to a connecting position. Other tower, tower segment, support structure, support structural segment, and methods of erection of same use at least a tower segment of a tower.

A tower for a wind turbine is disclosed, said wind turbine comprises the tower, a nacelle and a rotor having at least one rotor blade. The tower is configured for supporting the nacelle and the rotor on a support system. The tower itself may be structured as having an upper top end for supporting the nacelle and a lower support end for being placed on the support system. Electric energy generated is transported via power cables from the nacelle to an electric grid, preferably via power electronic components, switches and/or transformers. Furthermore, the nacelle may rotate around the yaw axis according to the current wind direction. Hence, the rotation of the nacelle introduces a twist into the power cables, wherein said twist causes a deviation (shortening) in the length of the power cables. Furthermore, the tower comprises at least one radial cable guiding device for receiving the cable and a cable support arrangement for supporting the cable in a beneficial manner. Additionally, the tower comprises anti-torsion fixation means configured for reducing and/or preventing a propagation of a cable twist of the cables of a hanging portion into power cables of a loop portion. The power cables comprise a hanging portion having a cable axis, a cable loop portion having a horizontal cable loop, and the supported portion being at least partially supported by the cable support arrangement.

Disclosed is a guiding device for guiding an elongated element such as a cable or a pipe from the exterior into a hollow interior of a support element, the support element being a support element for supporting an offshore structure and being at least partly submerged in water, wherein the guiding device comprises; a tube having a first opening at a first end for facing the exterior and a second opening at a second end opposite to the first end for facing the hollow interior of the support element. The guiding device is configured to allow water to flow into the first opening and out of the second opening of the tube, and substantially prevent water from flowing into the second opening and out of the first opening whereby the guiding device allows water to enter the hollow interior of the support element but not exit the hollow interior.
