Abstract: In a first aspect, the embodiments of the invention provide a surveillance system for a wind park comprising a detection system configured to detect flying birds and issue a detection signal; one or more drones; and a control system configured to command one or more of said drones to be deployed based on the detection of birds flying in the vicinity of the wind park. The invention extends to a wind park comprising a plurality of wind turbines and a system as defined above. The invention also embraces a method of operating a surveillance system in a wind park, comprising scanning a geographical area proximal to a wind park using a surveillance system for the detection of birds; on detecting the presence of birds in the vicinity of the wind park, automatically commanding the deployment of one or more drones to act as a deterrent to the detected birds.

Abstract: A generator (5) for a wind turbine (1) is disclosed. The generator (5) comprises a rotor (3) configured to rotate about a rotational axis, and at least one stator (4) arranged next to the rotor (3). Each stator (4) comprises at least two subunits (8), the subunits (8) being arranged side-by-side along a moving direction of the rotor (3). Each subunit (8) comprises at least one flux-generating module (9) facing the rotor (3) but spaced therefrom, thereby defining an air gap between the rotor (3) and each flux-generating module (9). The subunits (8) are movable relative to each other along a direction which is substantially transverse to the moving direction of the rotor (3). This allows a subunit (8) to move in a manner which adjusts the air gap without affecting the position and the air gap of a neighbouring subunit (8). Thereby variations in the rotor (3) can be compensated and a uniform and constant air gap can be maintained. The invention further provides a wind turbine (1) comprising such a generator (5) and a method for performing service on a generator (5).

The node structure (12, 14) comprises a pair of opposed spaced-apart faces (30) that are substantially planar and substantially parallel to each other. At least one pair of root formations (32) with respective central longitudinal axes define an interior angle between them, those axes diverging outwardly for alignment with respective members of the lattice frame and converging inwardly between the faces (30). An inner connecting wall (34) between the root formations (32) of the pair connects concave-curved inner edges (36) of the faces and extends in a concave curve around the interior angle to join the root formations (32) of that pair.
