Zusammenfassung:A wind turbine that includes a hub carrying one or more blades, a generator, and a shaft operatively coupled to the hub through a first coupling is described. In operation, the rotor of the generator is directly driven by the shaft. The hub is rotatably mounted on a frame, and the shaft is mounted at least partially internally in the frame. The coupling between the shaft and the hub is adapted to transmit the torque about the hub's rotational axis from the hub to the shaft while substantially limiting the transmission of other loads. The generator is arranged in such a way that the torque about the shaft's rotational axis is transmitted from the shaft to the rotor of the generator while substantially limiting the transmission of other loads from the shaft to the generator.
