20110187116 | WIND TURBINE CONFIGURATION WITH POWER CABLE AND METHOD OF ELECTRICALLY CONNECTING A GENERATOR OF A WIND TURBINE TO A TRANSFORMER - A wind turbine configuration is constructed with a power cable having an electrical conductor with a plurality of copper clad aluminum strands that are highly flexible. The power cable includes a composite insulator including an insulating material surrounding the electrical conductor and a jacket surrounding the insulating material. The wind turbine configuration includes a wind turbine having a tower with a top and a bottom. A generator is located near the top of the tower, and a transformer is located outside of the wind turbine. A plurality of rotor blades is connected to the generator. The power cable electrically connects the generator of the wind turbine to the transformer. A method includes electrically connecting the power cable to a generator of the wind turbine and to a transformer conveying power supplied by the generator to a switchyard. | 08-04-2011 |
