Abstract

According to the present invention is provided a wind turbine nacelle comprising wind turbine components. The nacelle also comprises a load carrying structure including a base member (21) establishing a connection between the wind turbine rotor and tower, at least one tie member (22), and at least one strut member (19) carrying one or more of said wind turbine components. The tie and strut members are connected at one end to each other and at the opposite ends to different positions on the base member for establishing one or more closed structures.
