Abstract
A wind turbine comprising a tower and a nacelle, wherein a rotor having at least one rotor blade is disposed on the nacelle, and the rotor executes a rotary motion when the wind turbine is in operation and the rotary motion drives a generator within the nacelle, via a shaft, wherein disposed on the tower of the wind turbine there is a fiber winding, which wraps around a vertical tower axis of the tower of the wind turbine and which is configured to damp a vibration of the tower.
Claims20
A wind turbine comprising:
- a tower, the tower including a fiber winding wrapped around a vertical tower axis of the tower, the fiber winding being configured to damp a vibration of the tower, wherein the fiber winding is disposed in a recess in a surface of the tower, wherein a surface of the fiber winding in a radial direction in relation to the tower axis is flush with the surface of the tower;
- a nacelle;
- a generator in the nacelle;
- and
- a rotor disposed on the nacelle, the rotor having at least one rotor blade, wherein the rotor executes a rotary motion when the wind turbine is in operation and the rotary motion drives the generator in the nacelle.
