Claims20
A wind power installation having a power generation redundancy system, the wind power installation comprising:
- a plurality of power generating systems, including:
- a first power generating system having a plurality of components including:
- a stator;
- a feed line configuration to connect the stator with a power transmission line, wherein the feed line configuration includes a rectifier, an inverter, and a transformer;
- and
- a second power generating system having a plurality of components including:
- a stator;
- a feed line configuration to connect the stator of the second power generating system with the power transmission line, wherein the feed line configuration of the second power generating system includes a rectifier, an inverter, and a transformer;
- and
- wherein the plurality of power generating systems are electrically cross-connected at selected points to by-pass a failure of one or more of the rectifiers, the inverters, and/or the transformers.
