Patent ID: 7795751

Claim:
A wind power installation, comprising: a wind power installation generator having a rotor and a stator which has a mounting for stator windings; a support structure to hold said stator, wherein said support structure has a plurality of support arms coupled to said stator and wherein an odd number of all of said support arms of said support structure support the weight of the stator, wherein said odd number of support arms are sufficiently stiff and arranged to rigidly hold respective sections of the stator to reduce sound emission that is dependent on geometry of the support structure, and further wherein all of said odd number support arms to support said stator lie in a vertical plane; and wherein said support arms, to support said stator of said wind power installation generator, are irregularly spaced, all of said support arms extend radially from a common region, and wherein said stator of said wind power installation generator that is supported by said support arms is fixed to outer portions of all of said radially extending support arms, said outer portions being at opposite ends of said support arms relative to said common region.
