Abstract
A wind turbine has a nacelle which houses operative components such as a transformer or converter which in use generate unwanted heat, the nacelle including an external nacelle cover (20) to form the outer nacelle enclosure, and provided with a panel (24) which overlies a bottom cover (22) region forming therewith a conduit for directing external air to one or more of the heat generating operative components for cooling purposes.
