An enclosure for a nacelle of a wind turbine is connected to a substructure in a manner that allows the enclosure to move relative to the substructure. An imaginary straight line extends over the panel and is aligned with an edge of the panel. The imaginary straight line defines a first sub-portion of the panel, said first sub-portion comprising the edge. The first sub-portion butts against the substructure. The first sub-portion is retained against the substructure by a tension element acting in a direction of tension. The first sub-portion can be displaced relative to the substructure in a direction which intersects the direction of tension. The invention facilitates the operation of assembling the enclosure.
An enclosure for a nacelle (14) of a wind turbine, in which a panel (22, 27) is connected to a substructure (31, 32), having an imaginary straight line (36), which extends over the panel (22, 27) and is aligned with an edge (37) of the panel (22, 27), wherein the imaginary straight line (36) defines a first sub-portion (40) of the panel (22, 27), said first sub-portion comprising the edge (37), and wherein the first sub-portion (40) butts against the substructure (31, 32), wherein the first sub-portion (40) is retained against the substructure (31, 32) by a tension element (35) acting in a direction of tension, and wherein the first sub-portion (40) can be displaced relative to the substructure (31, 32) in a direction which intersects the direction of tension.
