Abstract
The present disclosure relates to wind power generation systems having a segmented stator with a structural element and a plurality of coils. The wind power generation systems also include a rotor adapted to be rotated by wind to induce current in the plurality of coils and a lamination stack having a plurality of lamination plates disposed about the plurality of coils and a dovetail recess formed in the lamination stack. The wind power generation systems also include a dovetail bar adapted to be received by the dovetail recess and adjusted by a bolt to engage the lamination stack and the structural element of the segmented stator to form a torque transfer interface. Torque is adapted to be transferred from the lamination stack to the segmented stator via friction at the interface.
