Abstract:
A heli-hoist pad that is incorporated into a wind turbine nacelle in a manner that is optimized for helicopter approach and positioning of the heli-hoist pad, such as by being located within a recess in an upper surface of the wind turbine nacelle. Heat exchangers may also be positioned within the free flow of wind outside of a nacelle in manners that provide for serviceability while also allowing for optimal positioning of a heli-hoist pad.
