DAMPING ARRANGEMENT FOR A WIND TURBINE

A damping arrangement for a wind turbine is provided. The damping arrangement (20) comprises a base (24) affixable to a surface (40) of the wind turbine (2); and a magnet 5 arrangement. The magnet arrangement comprises a first magnet (38) and a second magnet (54). The first magnet (38) is fixed relative to the base (24) and is arranged to generate a first magnetic field. The second magnet (54) is supported by the base (24) to be spaced from the first magnet (38) when the base (24) is fixed to the surface (40), and is arranged to generate a second magnetic field that interacts with the first magnetic field 10 to generate a magnetic force that acts between the first and second magnets (28, 54). At least one of the first and second magnetic fields is variable.
