Abstract
In a first aspect of the invention there is provided a generator for a wind turbine. The generator comprises a stator which defines a central axis of the generator, the stator being mounted with-in a frame by a stator mounting system. The stator mounting system comprises a plurality of stator mounting modules, each stator mounting module being removably attached to the stator and removably attached to the frame. The stator mounting system is arranged so that one or more of the stator mounting modules can be replaced or repositioned with the stator mounted in situ within the frame.
