A Nacelle For A Wind Turbine
Patent No. EP4062059 (titled "A Nacelle For A Wind Turbine") was filed by Vestas Wind Systems on Nov 20, 2020. The application was issued on Oct 29, 2025.
Patent Summary
A wind turbine nacelle for mounting on a tower comprises a main unit and at least one auxiliary unit, connected at an interface via a unit fixation structure. The main unit houses a rotor-supporting assembly and includes a main frame forming part of the load path from the rotor to the tower. The auxiliary unit houses an operative component of a power conversion assembly—specifically an electrolysis cell stack, transformer, or converter. This operative component is suspended directly on the main unit's main frame via a first suspension structure. The separate modular design facilitates transport, assembly, and maintenance, allowing the operative component to be positioned by the auxiliary unit and subsequently supported by the main frame.
