A wind turbine transmission system is described wherein mechanical power directly from the slow rotation of the shaft of a large wind turbine rotor is carried over to electrical power through a
View Details
The rotor connects to the generator, either directly (if it''s a direct drive turbine) or through a shaft and a series of gears (a gearbox) that speed up the rotation and allow for a physically smaller generator.
