摘要： Disclosed herein is an aerogenerator having a rotation support unit for facilitating rotation of a rotational body. The aerogenerator includes a support pillar, a rotational body, vanes, a rotating force transmission unit, a generating unit and a rotation support unit. The support pillar has a hollow space therein and has a support extension on the upper end thereof. The rotational body is provided on the upper end of the support pillar so as to be rotatable using the rotation support unit. The vanes are provided on opposite ends of the rotational body. The rotating force transmission unit transmits rotating force of the vanes to the generating unit. In the present invention, the rotation support unit comprises a rotating plate which is provided between the rotational body and the support pillar, and first rollers which are provided in the rotating plate and are in contact with the rotational body and the support extension. The rotation support unit further comprises second rollers which are provided under the rotating plate and are in contact with the inner surface of the hollow space of the support pillar. Therefore, the rotational body can easily rotate on the upper end of the support pillar by the first rollers, and the rotational plate can be prevented from being separated from the upper end of the support pillar by the second rollers.

摘要： A yawing system for a wind turbine comprising a tower construction and a nacelle. The yawing system comprises a stationary part being connectable to or forming part of a tower construction of a wind turbine, and a rotating part being connectable to a nacelle of a wind turbine. The rotating part is arranged adjacent to the stationary part in such a manner that the rotating part is allowed to rotate relatively to the stationary part via a gear connection between the stationary part and the rotating part. The rotating part comprises a plurality of modules, each comprising a sub-module, the sub-modules being at least substantially identical in size and shape. Each module is configurable to perform various functions, e.g. by positioning one or more function defining elements in the corresponding sub-module. Thereby a configured module belongs to a category of modules reflecting the function of the configured module. At least one of the modules is configured as a drive module adapted to drive a rotational movement of the rotational part relatively to the stationary part, via the gear connection. Due to the similarity in size and shape of the sub-modules, a module belonging to a category may be replaced or reconfigured to belong to a different category of modules without altering the main design of the rotating part. Thereby a highly customizable yawing system is obtained, which can be produced in a cost effective manner.

摘要： To provide a wind turbine generator, a wind turbine generator system, and a power-generation control method of a wind turbine generator that are capable of improving the power-generation capability and reducing the fatigue load on the windmill. A data accumulation unit 25 sequentially accumulates data sets of a generated output power P during operation of the wind turbine generator, an incoming wind speed Ws estimated on the basis of a wind speed measured at the anemometer, and a wind direction deviation, which is the difference between a wind direction θw measured at the anemoscope and the orientation of the nacelle; statistical analysis of the data accumulated is carried out by an analyzing unit 26; a distribution curve corresponding to the wind direction deviation of the generated output power at each incoming wind speed is determined; the wind direction deviation corresponding to the peak of the distribution curve is set as a correction value θd of the anemoscope; the correction value of the anemoscope for each incoming wind speed is stored in the wind-direction correction table 27; the wind direction Vw measured at the anemoscope is corrected with the correction value θd of the anemoscope for each incoming wind speed Ws; and power-generation control is carried out using the corrected wind direction as a control parameter.
