Abstract
In the case of a wind power installation with at least one wind turbine and one current generator device, the current generator device has at least two generators. The generators are coupled to one another via at least one differential gear unit, the wind turbine being arranged on a balancing gear of the differential gear unit. The rotors of the generators are in each case connected to an axial gear of the differential gear unit, the stators of the generators being connected to one another to form an abutment on which the differential carrier of the differential gear unit is accommodated such that it can rotate.
