A method for moving a double-bladed rotor of a wind power plant into a parking position characterized by the orientation of the rotor blades in a horizontal plane and braking the rotor.

Method of parking double-bladed rotor of wind power plant

The invention relates to a wind turbine comprising a tower, a nacelle that is located on the tower and is provided with a machine support, a rotor shaft bearing and a generator, and comprising a rotor with a rotor shaft, a rotor hub and at least one rotor with at least one rotor blade that is fixed to the rotor hub. According to the invention, the wind turbine has a locking device established by a locking bolt that can be driven into a locking bolt recess in order to positively lock the rotor. The invention is characterized in that the locking bolt is located on the rotor hub and the locking recess is located on the nacelle.

Locking device for the rotor of wind turbines

A hydraulic supply unit for lubricating and/or cooling mechanical and electrical components disposed in the nacelle of a wind power plant, and for supplying hydraulic actuating devices with hydraulic fluid, characterized by a tank that is divided into chambers and has a first chamber for providing oil lubricating the gearbox of the wind power plant, a second chamber for providing hydraulic oil used to operate hydraulic actuating devices of the wind power plant, a first connection for connecting the first chamber to a line for supplying the gearbox with lubricating oil, and a second connection for connecting the second chamber to a line for supplying the hydraulically operated actuating devices with hydraulic oil, and a heat exchanger for dissipating heat from the hydraulic oil, the gearbox oil and a coolant that is fed to the heat exchanger and absorbs lost heat at the electrical components of the wind power plant.

Hydraulic supply unit

A planetary gear including a stationary ring gear, a rotatable planet carrier having an even number of at least four mirror-symmetrically arranged planet wheels, and a sun gear and comprising two bearings disposed opposite of the sun gear and arranged between the planet wheels is provided. The bearings connect the input or output element of the planetary gear to the planet carrier in the center plane of the planet carrier, with the bearings forming an imaginary axis of symmetry, and at least two planet wheels having a lesser distance to each other than one of the planet wheels does to a further planet wheel.
