Abstract

A nacelle component for a nacelle of a wind turbine, comprising a mainframe module and a power electronics module. The mainframe module and the power electronics module in each case have a length greater than a width. In the assembled state of the nacelle component, the mainframe module is oriented with its longitudinal axis parallel to a vertical plane which extends through the axis of a rotor shaft. The longitudinal axis of the power electronics module intersects the vertical plane which extends through the axis of the rotor shaft. A method for mounting such a nacelle component is also disclosed.
