Abstract:
A wind turbine includes a nacelle which houses components including a generator connected to a rotor. The nacelle includes a cover and a skeleton, the skeleton including a plurality of connected elongated skeleton members. The skeleton members include a first skeleton member, a second skeleton member non-parallel to the first skeleton member, and a bolt extending in parallel with the second skeleton member for connecting the second skeleton member and the first skeleton member. Also, a method is presented for removing a component housed in a nacelle of a wind turbine, including disconnecting a second skeleton member from first skeleton members, removing the second skeleton member from a path of removal of the component, and removing the component along the path.
