Abstract:
A wind turbine is provided, including a container, a fluid which is arranged inside the container, and a damping body which is arranged inside the container, which is immersed in the fluid, and which is configured to move inside the container, wherein the fluid and the damping body are configured to damp oscillations of the wind turbine. A damper system is provided that on the one hand the fluid damps, e.g. by sloshing, and on the other hand the damping body damps by moving at least partially through the fluid.
