Abstract
A wind power generating system with an obstruction lighting or night marking device, and with at least one rotor blade allocated to a rotor hub which exhibits at least one optical waveguide, which is routed from the rotor blade hub-side end area to the rotor blade surface, and that a light source is allocated to the optical waveguide in the rotor blade hub-side end area.
Claims16
A wind power generating system with an obstruction lighting or night marking device comprising:
- at least one rotor blade allocated to a rotor hub having a hub-side end area, a tip and a rotor blade surface;
- at least one optical waveguide on said at least one rotor blade and routed from slid hub-side end area to said rotor blade surface wherein said at least one optical waveguide comprises an optical cable and said optical cable has a bundle of flexible optical fibers, and wherein said optical cable has at least one split point, in which said optical fiber bundle is split into partial optical fiber bundles to said rotor blade surface;
- and
- a light source allocated to said at least one optical waveguide in each rotor blade's hub-side end area.
