Abstract

An electrical power generator for a wind turbine comprising: a generator housing, a stator in a radially outward position and a rotor in a radially inward position, wherein the rotor comprises a cylindrical ring structure arranged about a rotation axis R and defining a central hollow portion. The power generator further comprises a rotor shroud attached to the generator housing and extending about the rotation axis R, wherein the rotor shroud comprises a dome portion extending into the central hollow portion of the rotor to protect the cylindrical ring structure of the rotor. Advantageously, the rotor shroud provides a tunnel-like surface extending into the central hollow portion of the generator to prevent objects such as tools from contacting components of the rotor. The invention also relates to a method for assembling such an electrical generator with a rotor shroud.
