Abstract
The disclosure relates to a generator and a wind turbine. The generator includes an active cooling loop and a passive cooling loop that are isolated from each other and both are in communication with external environment. The active cooling loop includes cavities that are in communication with each other and located at two respective ends of the generator in an axial direction, an air gap between a rotor and a stator of the generator, and radial channels arranged at intervals and distributed along the axial direction of the stator. A cooling device in communication with the external environment is disposed in the active cooling loop. The passive cooling loop includes an axial channel extending through the stator in the axial direction and an outer surface of the generator.
