Remove the generator from the nacelle

The transport of energy from the nacelle to the base will be done using a closed-loop
system of pumps and pipelines. This way the heavy generator in the nacelle can be removed. As a result installation, maintanance, etc. will become easier.

Where do you plan to put the generator? In the base or a centralised platform?

Both are a option. Offcourse it seems a little bit weird that when a large windfarm is installed (>100MW) each turbine is a powerstation on its own. So for bigger windfarms a centralised generator station is a good option. For smaller size windfarms a generator in the foot of the turbinemast is good, because it lowers the bending moment
