Abstract
A drive arrangement for a wind turbine includes a sun shaft, which is non-rotatably connected or connectable to a sun gear arranged on a rotor side with respect to the sun shaft, and a shaft or hub for receiving a rotor of a generator. The drive arrangement includes a connecting element, which is connected non-rotatably to the sun shaft and the shaft or hub and which is arranged inside the shaft or hub or on a generator side relative to the shaft or hub, and one or more spring and/or damping elements that decouple the connecting element from the sun shaft and/or the shaft or hub.
