Abstract

A nacelle (110, 200, 800, 1300) for a wind turbine (101) and methods (700, 1200, 1500) of installing the nacelle (110, 200, 800, 1300) are provided. The nacelle (110, 200, 800, 1300) comprises an upper nacelle compartment (202, 802, 1302), and a lower nacelle compartment (204, 804, 1304). In an operational state of the wind turbine (101), the lower nacelle compartment (204, 804, 1304) is attached beneath the upper nacelle compartment (202, 802, 1302). The upper nacelle compartment (202, 802, 1302) is dimensioned to accommodate at least a bearing arrangement (208) for supporting a shaft of a rotor (102) of the wind turbine (101) and an electrical generator (210). The lower nacelle compartment (204, 804, 1304) is dimensioned to accommodate at least a transformer (212) and a power converter (214).
