    摘要: A wind turbine is provided, including a hub, rotor blades, wherein each rotor blade is rotatably supported at or in the hub by a pitch bearing, a pitch control device for changing a pitch angle of the rotor blades, and a measurement system for capturing a sensor signal in or at the pitch bearing and for changing the pitch angle by the pitch control device as a function of the sensor signal to prevent failure of the pitch bearing due to a lack of lubrication, wherein the sensor signal represents a change in vibration, noise and/or temperature in or at the pitch bearing. Due to the fact that the pitch angle can be changed as a function of the sensor signal, lubrication of the pitch bearing is ensured throughout the lifetime of the pitch bearing. Unnecessary pitch movements can be prevented.

    摘要: A rotor bearing housing for a wind turbine has: a bearing body for receiving a rotor shaft of the wind turbine, a support body arranged under the bearing body and configured to be coupled at a first end to a base element in order to transmit a force flow between the bearing body and the base element. The base element is arrangeable under the support body for the purposes of rotatable fastening to a first end of a tower of the wind turbine, the bearing body and the support body together forming a single-piece body, and the bearing body and the support body being configured such that, if a geometrical central point of the first receptacle for a rotor bearing is projected onto a cross-sectional plane of the first end of the tower, the geometrical central point is arranged outside a diameter of the tower at the first end.

    摘要: A wind power plant comprising a first structural element, a second structural element, a bearing assembly by means of which the first structural element is rotatably mounted on the second structural element, a first flange connection between the first structural element and the bearing assembly, a second flange connection between the second structural element and the bearing assembly, and at least one drive, held by a support structure for rotating the first structural element relative to the second structural element. The support structure is formed as a plate and is arranged at one of the flange connections.
