A chassis (10) for a wind turbine mountable on a mast (34) comprises a frame (11) formed from one or more modular frame units (12, 14) suitable for housing wind turbine components therein. Each frame unit (12, 14) is formed from metal end plates (16, 17, 24 and 25) separated by rods (18, 19, 26 and 27), and means for extending the frame such that the centre of mass of the turbine is maintained directly above the mast (34). The chassis (10) improves the performance of the wind turbine by maintaining its stability by ensuring that the centre of mass is positioned over the mast. The chassis (10) also allows on-site retrofitting of the chassis (10) to accommodate alternative wind turbine component configurations. |
