Estimating the term…
A wind turbine having a generator for generating electrical energy and a transformer is disclosed. The transformer is designed to receive electrical energy from the generator on a secondary side and to discharge said electrical energy again on a primary side at a higher voltage. The wind turbine also comprises a temperature monitoring means for the transformer. The voltage supply to the temperature monitoring means is fed from the primary side of the transformer. The temperature monitoring means is thereby independent of the control system of the wind turbine. The temperature monitoring means reduces the risk of the transformer overheating. A method for operating such a wind turbine is also disclosed.
A wind energy installation comprising a generator configured to generate electrical energy, a transformer configured to receive electrical energy from the generator on a secondary side and to output said electrical energy at a higher voltage on a primary side, and a temperature-monitoring system for the transformer, wherein the voltage supply for the temperature-monitoring system is fed from the primary side of the transformer.
