Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A nacelle main frame structure and drive train assembly ( 1 ) for being mounted on a tower ( 2 ) of a wind turbine. The nacelle main frame structure and drive train assembly ( 1 ) comprises a nacelle main frame structure ( 4 ) with a central part ( 6 ) connecting a first part ( 7 ) to a second part ( 8 ). The first part ( 7 ), during wind turbine operation and/or servicing activities, takes up loads of a rotor ( 9 ). A drive train ( 5 ) is at least partially located between the first and second parts ( 7, 8 ). The central part ( 6 ) of the main frame structure ( 4 ) is located substantially above at least part of the drive train ( 5 ) and is such that at least part of the drive train ( 5 ) can only be removed from the main frame structure ( 4 ) by lowering at least part of the drive train ( 5 ) from the main frame structure ( 4 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A nacelle main frame structure and drive train assembly ( 1 ) for being mounted on a tower ( 2 ) of a wind turbine having a rotor which rotates about a longitudinal axis, the nacelle main frame structure and drive train assembly ( 1 ) comprising: the nacelle main frame structure ( 4 ) which comprises a first part, a second part, and a central part ( 6 ), in sequence along the longitudinal axis the first part ( 7 ) is connected to the central part which…
