Mounting arrangement for a wind turbine

A mounting arrangement for a wind turbine for mounting a drive train on a tower of the wind turbine, the mounting arrangement comprising:

• a bedplate that is mounted on the tower;
• a main bearing unit for rotatably supporting a rotor shaft of the drive train and for supporting radial forces of the rotor shaft, the radial forces with respect to a rotor shaft axis having components in a horizontal transverse direction perpendicular to the rotor shaft axis and in a vertical direction perpendicular to the rotor shaft axis and to the horizontal transverse direction;
• a support housing for accommodating and supporting components of the drive train;
• and
• an auxiliary bearing unit for supporting the support housing,
• wherein the mounting arrangement includes two or more coupling elements for supporting at least one of the main bearing unit and the auxiliary bearing unit on the bedplate, and
• wherein each coupling element is configured as a rod link which is rotatably mounted at both of its ends and has a greater rigidity in its longitudinal direction than transverse to its longitudinal direction.
