Slip ring assembly

A slip ring assembly for electrically connecting a generator mounted in a rotatable nacelle of an orientable wind turbine and fixed electrical distribution conductors mounted to a fixed pole of the orientable wind turbine, the slip ring assembly comprising:

• a plurality of conducting disks being spaced-apart and stacked mounted along a common rotation axis, each of the conducting disks being electrically connectable to a respective electrical output of the generator and being fixedly securable to the generator so that a rotation of the rotatable nacelle triggers a rotation of the conducting disks;
• and
• a plurality of slip ring devices each being electrically connectable and mechanically securable to a respective one of the fixed electrical distribution conductors so as to have a fixed position relative to the fixed pole, each one of the plurality of the slip ring devices comprising at least one upper conducting finger and at least one lower conducting finger arranged so as to rotatably receive a respective one of the plurality of conducting disks therebetween and provide an electrical connection between the respective one of the plurality of conducting disks and the slip ring device, with a rotation of the nacelle triggering a rotation of the conducting disks relative to the at least one upper conducting finger and the at least one lower conducting finger so that an electrical current flows between the generator and the fixed electrical distribution conductors during the rotation of the nacelle.
