Abstract

The invention relates to a rotor (1) for an electric generator. The rotor comprises a cylindrical casing part (3) and a connecting structure arranged to mechanically connect the casing part (3) to a rotor shaft (5). The structure comprises at least one plane disc (4). The disc (4) is composed of a plurality of plane disc elements which comprise disc elements (7, 7a, 7b) that engage lockingly into each other in a puzzle- like manner. This means that where a first (7a) and a second (7b) disc element meet they have a complementary shape with at least one protrusion (8) on the first disc element (7a) and a corresponding number of recesses (9) of the same shape and a complementary position on the second disc element (7b). A protrusion (8) on the first disc element (7a) engages into a recess (9) in the other disc element (7b). At least one protrusion (8) has a varying width with a first portion closer to the outer end of the protrusion (8) that is broader than a second portion closer to the base part of the disc element. Hence a shape-permanent locking engagement is achieved so that a joint is formed between the first (7a) and the second (7b) disc element. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a rotor.

Abstract

The invention concerns a method for the construction of a wind-power unit having a wind turbine (2) supported by a tower (1 ), the tower being composed from a plurality of vertically distributed sections (11 a-11 e). The method according to the invention comprises placing a first section (11a) on a construction site of the wind-power unit, lifting the first section (11a) a distance corresponding to at least the length of a second section (11b), placing the second section (11 b) on the construction site, attaching the first section {11a) to the second section for the formation of a composed tower part, and lifting the composed tower part a distance corresponding to the length of a next additional section (11 c). This is then carried out a number of times depending on how many sections that the tower is composed of, after which the last set out section (11 e) is anchored on the construction site. The invention also concerns a lifting device for carrying out the method and a use of the constructed wind-power unit.
