Wind turbine with horizontal rotor shaft and with rotatable tower

The invention relates to a wind turbine which does not have a rotatable nacelle at hub level but has a rotatable tower (2), on a circular ring path and/or an anti-tip live ring (3), said tower being optimized aerodynamically on the windward side. The tower (2), which can be in the form of a single t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a wind turbine which does not have a rotatable nacelle at hub level but has a rotatable tower (2), on a circular ring path and/or an anti-tip live ring (3), said tower being optimized aerodynamically on the windward side. The tower (2), which can be in the form of a single tower or in the form of a double tower formed by two tower parts (2a and 2b), is designed such that, at the hub level and either on one side or on both sides of the rotor hub (5), one drive unit (8) each comprising a generator or a drive in the form of a traction sheave drive with an integrated Koepe drive for transmitting the torque of the rotor hub downwards can be connected. The generator components, in addition to the conventional lateral arrangement, can also be arranged within the lower traction sheave.
