Abstract
A wind turbine () is disclosed having a hub () with electrical power therein and at least one blade () attached to the hub. The blade () has a blade root (), a blade tip () and a down-wire () for the conduction of lightning current to the ground. The wind turbine () further has a blade electrical system () that takes electrical power from the hub () and transmits electrical power into the blade () to at least one area located between the blade root () and the blade tip (). The blade electrical system () if formed by a power-transfer unit () having a power-driver unit (), a power-conditioner unit () and a dielectric () separating the power-driver unit () and the power-conditioner unit (). The power-driver unit () receives electrical power from the hub () and transmit the electrical power through the dielectric () to the power-conditioner unit (). An electrical-power bus () is electrically attached to the power-conditioner unit () and extends into the blade (). At least one powered unit () is provided which is electrically connected to, and electrically powered by, the electrical-power bus ().
