Abstract

The invention relates to a wind power plant that comprises a dehumidifying device arranged in the interior of said plant and at least one valve. The dehumidifying device is in fluid communication with the interior of the plant via an air inlet and an air outlet. The dehumidifying device is in fluid communication with the ambient air via at least one air conduit. At least one valve is arranged to prevent ambient air to enter the interior of the plant via the dehumidifying device when said dehumidifying device is not in operation. The invention also relates to a method of operating the wind power plant.
