Abstract
A wind power plant has a rotor, an integrated medium-speed electric generator, and a planetary transmission. The planetary transmission is arranged to convert a slow rotary motion of the rotor into a rapid rotary motion to operate the generator. The planetary transmission includes a transmission input shaft connected indirectly to the rotor and includes a transmission output shaft connected to the generator indirectly via a generator shaft. A coupling mechanism is arranged between the generator shaft and the planetary transmission to compensate axial, radial and angular misalignment.
