A power transmission device includes a hydrodynamic converter. The blading of the pump wheel and/or turbine wheels includes at least one adjusting blade which can be actuated by an adjusting device, and/or at least one multi-element blade having at least one adjustable blade segment.

Power transmission device

There is provided a drive train for transmitting a variable power with a variable input speed at a drive shaft and a substantially constant output speed at an output shaft for a power generation installation, driven by a continuous-flow machine. The drive train includes a power-split transmission having a first planetary gear as a superposition gear and a second planetary gear, and a hydrodynamic component which takes up power from an output side and returns said power in a controlled manner to the power-split transmission. The first and second planetary gears are coupled to each other via a common planet carrier. The drive shaft is coupled to a ring gear of the first planetary gear, and wherein in the common planet carrier, planets of the first planetary gear and planets of the second planetary gear are accommodated in an alternating fashion in a circumferential direction.

Drive train

The invention relates to a power generation plant, driven by a water current, comprising The invention is characterized in that the drive train comprises a controllable hydrodynamic coupling for exclusive transmission of power to the electric generator.
