Abstract
A method is provided for monitoring the temperature of an electric generator of a wind turbine, wherein the generator has a stator, a rotor and a temperature monitoring unit. The temperature monitoring unit has a passive control element on the rotor and a receiving unit on the stator. A change in temperature on the rotor leads to a mechanical or optical change in the passive control element. The mechanical or optical change in the passive control element is acquired by the receiving unit on the stator.
