Configuration of a wind turbine nacelle for transportation

A nacelle (14) for a wind turbine (10) includes a cover (100) defining an internal volume. The cover has longitudinal sides (102) and opposite end walls (104). A bedplate (28) is within the cover with the power generation and wind turbine control components (15, 20, 22, 24, 26, 30, 32) mounted on th...

Zusammenfassung:	A nacelle (14) for a wind turbine (10) includes a cover (100) defining an internal volume. The cover has longitudinal sides (102) and opposite end walls (104). A bedplate (28) is within the cover with the power generation and wind turbine control components (15, 20, 22, 24, 26, 30, 32) mounted on the bedplate. The cover has a widest width dimension (106) along the longitudinal sides intermediate of the end walls that exceeds a pre-defined maximum width for rail transport of the nacelle. Removable caps (108) are configured on the longitudinal sides of the cover at the widest dimension, with the caps having a configuration such that upon removal of the caps, the widest width dimension is less than the predefined maximum width for rail transport.
