An electrical system for a wind turbine having a reduced uptower footprint and method for achieving the same are provided. Accordingly, the electrical system includes a plurality of electrical subsystems having a plurality of electrical subsystem assemblies. At least one electrical subsystem assembly is integrated with the generator housing. Additionally, the electrical subsystem assembly is coupled between the stator or the rotor of the generator and the generator output connection. The electrical system incorporating the electrical subsystem assembly with the generator housing has a reduced uptower footprint relative to a nominal design of an electrical system.

A mold valve assembly includes a mold valve chamber having an output port and an injection chamber in communication with the mold valve chamber. A first actuator drives an injection piston within the injection chamber to drive mixture material from an inlet port into the mold valve chamber. A second actuator drives a mold valve piston along the mold valve axis within the mold valve chamber to drive mixture material through an outlet and into a mold cavity of a mold assembly. The mold valve piston closely fits within the mold valve chamber to scrape along an end segment of the injection piston to clean any mixture material remnants therefrom such that remnants within the mold valve chamber are minimized and the necessity of flushing between injection cycles is substantially eliminated.

A mix head assembly including a mix chamber having a mixer rotatably mounted therein. The mixer extends for a longitudinal length and defines a multiple of vanes which agitate the fluid material components as the mixer is rotated. A plunger is movably mounted in the mix chamber relative to the mixer. As the plunger is driven relative the mixer, the plunger scrapes the fluid material off the mixer such that no remnants remain within the mix chamber.
