Abstract:
A wind turbine nacelle configuration includes a frame structure configured for mounting atop a wind turbine tower. The frame structure includes a base, side support members, and top support members. A shell is attached to the frame structure to enclose the nacelle. A drive train may be housed within the frame structure and includes a low speed rotor shaft connected to a gearbox, and a high speed shaft connecting the gearbox to a generator. The frame structure is configured so that at least one component of the drive train is suspended from the top support members within the frame structure.
