Abstract: A wind turbine tower is supported on a transition piece that connects the tower to a foundation and that defines a space beneath the lower end of the tower. Electronic components positioned within a removable module in the lower portion of a wind turbine tower may be removed through a lower end of the tower for service or replacement.

Abstract: The application relates to a liquid containment assembly (200) for a wind turbine (10), comprising: a support (202) for supporting wind turbine equipment (220); and a flexible container (300) suspended beneath the support (202). The flexible container (300) is arranged such that it is moveable between a collapsed position, in which the liquid containment assembly (200) has a first depth (D1), and an expanded position, in which the liquid containment assembly (200) has a second depth (D2), the second depth being greater than the first depth.

Abstract: A nacelle for a wind turbine and a method for erecting a wind turbine are disclosed. The nacelle comprises a main unit arranged to be connected to a wind turbine tower, via a yawing arrangement, and at least one side unit mounted along a side of the main unit in such a manner that direct access is allowed between the main unit and the side unit(s), each side unit accommodating at least one wind turbine component, and at least one side unit being capable of carrying the wind turbine component(s) accommodated therein. The main unit and at least one of the side unit(s) are distributed side by side along a substantially horizontal direction which is substantially transverse to a rotational axis of a rotor of the wind turbine. A sufficient interior space of the nacelle is obtained while allowing the nacelle to be transported due to the modular construction. The weight of the wind turbine components is arranged close to the tower due to the transversal arrangement of the side unit(s) relative to the main unit.
