Abstract
The nacelle cover and nosecone are made of composite materials, especially the stiffener is added in the nacelle cover in order to enhance it's stiffness. The nacelle cover consists of all three covers of left, right side cover and upper cover and each cover is connected with bolts. Also, the nacelle cover and nacelle frame are connected with bolts. The nacelle cover and nosecone have a important role to prevent the components of nacelle and rotor from external circumstances such as snow, rain and wind. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the strength and deformation for them in the design level. According to GL Wind Specifications, this paper shows the results that nacelle cover of 2MW wind turbine satisfy the strength and deformation throughout analysis using Patran/Nastran programs.
