he generator is a multi-pole permanent magnet generator and is directly mounted to the hub. The magnets take care of the rotor excitation so no external field excitation is needed……
The main bearing is a specially designed two row cylindrical roller bearing of large diameter. The inner non-rotating ring is mounted to the generator stator. The outer rotating ring is mounted between the hub and generator rotor……
The nacelle is a compact nodular cast iron construction which houses the yaw mechanism, a service hoist and a switch board. Both generator and tower are flanged to the nacelle.
The rigid rotor hub is a nodular cast iron structure mounted onto the main bearing. Blades are connected to the hub using a four point pre-stressed ball bearing. It is large enough to provide a comfortable working environment…….
