Abstract: A wind turbine generator (10) includes a tower (12), a nacelle (14) rotatably mounted to the tower (12), the nacelle having a longitudinal axis and being configured to align the longitudinal axis with the direction of the incoming wind during operation of the wind turbine generator (10), one or more heat-generating components (22) housed in the wind turbine generator (10), and a containerized HVAC module (26) mounted on a roof (31) of the nacelle (14) and operably connected to the one or more heat-generating h components (22) for cooling the heat-generating components (22). The module (26) includes a shipping container (30) having a floor (32), a roof (34), a pair opposed longer side walls (36), a pair of opposed shorter end walls (38), and a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis of the shipping container (30) being oriented generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the nacelle (14), the shipping container (30) having at least one heat exchanger (40) therein.

Abstract: A wind turbine (10) includes a nacelle (14) with a longitudinal axis (LA) aligned with the flow of the incoming wind during operation. When so aligned, the nacelle defines a longitudinal direction (X). The wind turbine (10) includes one or more heat-generating components (22) and a modular cooler (24) operatively coupled to the one or more heat-generating components (22). The modular cooler (24) includes one or more cooling modules (30) with each including one or more cooling units (32). Each cooling unit (32) includes a heat exchanger (40) defining a cooling area (38), which defines a normal axis (NA) and a deflector plate (42) to divert the flow of the incoming wind by an angle less than 180° relative to the longitudinal direction (X). Each cooling unit (32) is oriented such that the normal axis (NA) is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis (LA). The modular cooler (24) is scalable in multiple dimensions to increase the cooling capacity of the cooler (24). A method of assembling the modular cooler (24) is also disclosed.

Abstract: A cooling system (12) for a wind turbine (2), the cooling system (12) comprising: a fluid circuit (16) arranged to convey a working fluid to and from at least one component (14) of the wind turbine (2), to exchange heat between the working fluid and the component (14); a main pump (26) configured to circulate the working fluid around the fluid circuit (16); and at least one branch line (28) connected to the fluid circuit (16). The, or each, branch line (28) comprises: an inlet (30) arranged to receive working fluid from the fluid circuit (16); an outlet (32) arranged to return working fluid to the fluid circuit (16); a branch pump (36) arranged to pump working fluid through the branch line (28) from the inlet (30) to the outlet (32); and a cooling device (34) arranged to cool working fluid flowing through the branch line (28).

Abstract: A wind turbine with a tower; a nacelle supported by said tower; at least one unit to be cooled and arranged in the tower or the nacelle; a tower mounted heat exchange structure arranged outside the nacelle and tower; and a circuit facilitating a flow of a fluid medium between the at least one unit and the heat exchange structure. To improve thermal convection with the ambient space, the heat exchange structure comprises a set of panels mutually angled and extending outwards from the tower such that a flow of ambient air can pass transversely trough the panels and thereby cool the unit.
