Tower vibration damper
The present invention relates to a tower damper adapted to be mounted in a wind turbine tower, the tower damper comprising a pendulum structure adapted to be suspended in the wind turbine tower; a plurality of springs arranged to dampen movements of the pendulum structure; a suspension arrangement for suspending the pendulum structure; and a chamber holding a damping liquid into which damping liquid the pendulum structure is at least partly immersed. The present invention further relates to a wind turbine comprising a tower damper.
Assembly for rotating a suspended load
The present invention relates to an assembly for rotating a suspended load around a substantially vertical axis, the assembly comprising an inner rim configured to have a fixed relationship with the suspended load to be rotated, an outer rim engaging the inner rim in a manner so that the inner and outer rims are configured to perform rotational movements relative to each other during rotation of the suspended load, and a drive unit for performing the relative rotational movement between the inner and outer rims. The assembly of the present invention may be secured to a lifting yoke for lifting wind turbine related components, such as entire wind turbine towers, wind turbine tower sections, nacelles, rotor blades or containers.
WIND POWER GENERATOR FOR STREET LIGHT
The present invention relates to a wind power generator for street light comprising: a post member installed vertically; a central fixed shaft member installed horizontally on an upper portion of the post member; a first blade member rotatably installed around the central fixed shaft member and including a first blade rotated by wind on one side thereof; a second blade member rotatably installed around the first blade member and including a second blade rotated by wind on one side thereof; a cone member having an inclined shape at a specific angle so that wind smoothly moves toward the first blade member and the second blade member, and a power generation module rotated by the first blade member and the second blade member to generate power. According to the present invention, the first blade member and the second blade member can supply sufficient torque required for the rotation of the power generation module and can increase power generation time by driving the power generation module with the double blades. In addition, it is possible to minimize the installation space and reduce the size of the wind power generator by installing the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft in a double layer structure.
Foundation system and method of construction

An arrangement for lowering and raising service tools used for offshore wind turbine blade and tower maintenance, having: a truss system, a rigging and a rigging pulling in and letting out means. The truss system, includes booms, pivotally attached to a supporting means, which are adapted to be leaned against or releasably fixed to a wind turbine tower or wind turbine tower mooring elements; wherein the rigging and a rigging pulling in and letting out means are operably connected with the truss system, so to allow lowering and raising service tools used for offshore wind turbine blade and tower maintenance.
A CONVECTION-DRIVEN POWER GENERATOR
A convection-driven power generator comprising a flow intake configured to supply fluid to the generator, a flow duct having a duct inlet and a duct outlet wherein the duct outlet is spaced downstream from the duct inlet along the flow duct, the duct inlet being fluidly coupled to the flow intake. A heating chamber fluidly is coupled to the duct outlet so as to receive fluid from the duct outlet, the heating chamber comprising an external wall configured to transmit light radiation incident thereon such that fluid within the heating chamber is heated by the transmitted light radiation. A flow exhaust is fluidly coupled to the heating chamber and configured to exhaust fluid heated by the heating chamber from the heating chamber. A turbine is arranged within the flow duct, downstream of the flow intake, and exposed to fluid flow through the flow duct such that when fluid flows through the flow duct the turbine is caused to rotate by the fluid flow; and at least one lens element is configured to focus the light radiation transmitted by the external wall within the heating chamber.
