Abstract

A wind turbine includes a dynamoelectric machine including a liquid-cooled stator and a rotor interacting with one another. The stator includes a magnetically conductive body and a winding system which is embedded in slots of the magnetically conductive body and which includes a main insulation arranged between a conductor of the winding system and a slot wall and including at least one recess provided in a cooling-channel impression of the main insulation to form at least one axial cooling channel extending between the main insulation and the slot wall, so that the at least one cooling channel borders the slot wall without insulation in direct contact with the slot wall. The winding system includes end windings which are also liquid-cooled. A can separates the stator and the rotor from one another and enables different cooling media for the stator and the rotor.

Claims (25)

1. A wind turbine, comprising:

a dynamoelectric machine including a liquid-cooled stator and a rotor interacting with one another; said stator including a magnetically conductive body and a winding system which is embedded in slots of the magnetically conductive body and which includes a main insulation arranged between a conductor of the winding system and a slot wall and including at least one recess provided in a cooling-channel impression of the main insulation to form at least one axial cooling channel extending between the main insulation and the slot wall, so that the at least one cooling channel borders the slot wall without insulation in direct contact with the slot wall, said winding system including end windings which are also liquid-cooled; and

a can designed to separate the stator and the rotor from one another and enable different cooling media for the stator and the rotor,

wherein the winding system is constructed from form-wound coils which include coil legs having cooling-channel impressions on both sides.

2. The wind turbine of claim 1 , wherein slot walls of the slots extend parallel to one another.

3. The wind turbine of claim 1 , wherein the at least one cooling channel projects axially over the magnetically conductive body.

4. The wind turbine of claim 1 , wherein the cooling-channel impression projects axially over the magnetically conductive body.

5. The wind turbine of claim 1 , wherein the magnetically conductive body is embodied as a laminated core.

6. A method for producing at least one cooling channel of a dynamoelectric machine of a wind turbine as set forth in claim 1 , the method comprising:

constructing the winding system from form-wound coils having coil legs; and

compressing with a stamp and/or a press a predefined region of the main insulation to impress the at least one cooling channel on at least one side of the coil legs of the form-wound coils.

7. The wind turbine of claim 1 , wherein the coil legs have a plurality of said cooling-channel impressions on both sides.

8. A wind turbine, comprising:

a dynamoelectric machine including a liquid-cooled stator and a rotor interacting with one another; said stator including a magnetically conductive body and a winding system which is embedded in slots of the magnetically conductive body and which includes a main insulation arranged between a conductor of the winding system and a slot wall and including at least one recess provided in a cooling-channel impression of the main insulation to form at least one axial cooling channel extending between the main insulation and the slot wall, so that the at least one cooling channel borders the slot wall without insulation in direct contact with the slot wall, said winding system including end windings which are also liquid-cooled; and

a can designed to separate the stator and the rotor from one another and enable different cooling media for the stator and the rotor,

wherein the magnetically conductive body is subdivided axially into at least two partial bodies to form radial cooling channels.

9. The wind turbine of claim 5 , wherein the winding system is constructed from form-wound coils.

10. The wind turbine of claim 8 , wherein slot walls of the slots extend parallel to one another.

11. The wind turbine of claim 8 , wherein the at least one cooling channel projects axially over the magnetically conductive body.

12. The wind turbine of claim 8 , wherein the cooling-channel impression projects axially over the magnetically conductive body.

13. The wind turbine of claim 8 , wherein the magnetically conductive body is embodied as a laminated core.

14. A wind turbine, comprising:

a dynamoelectric machine including a liquid-cooled stator and a rotor interacting with one another; said stator including a magnetically conductive body and a winding system which is embedded in slots of the magnetically conductive body and which includes a main insulation arranged between a conductor of the winding system and a slot wall and including at least one recess provided in a cooling-channel impression of the main insulation to form at least one axial cooling channel extending between the main insulation and the slot wall, so that the at least one cooling channel borders the slot wall without insulation in direct contact with the slot wall, said winding system including end windings which are also liquid-cooled; and

a can designed to separate the stator and the rotor from one another and enable different cooling media for the stator and the rotor,

wherein the winding system is constructed from form-wound coils which include coil legs having at least one cooling-channel impression on a side.
