Abstract

A method for thermal conditioning of a wind turbine nacelle is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: Obtaining historical, statistical and/or forecast data relating to ambient conditions of the wind turbine, e.g. in the form of wind data, weather forecasts and/or thermal data of the wind turbine. Calculating a setting for at least one conditioning unit, e.g. a cooling unit or a heating unit, arranged in an interior part of the nacelle, based on the obtained historical, statistical and/or forecast data, and operating the conditioning unit(s) in accordance with the calculated setting. Measuring at least one parameter reflecting a temperature in the interior part of the nacelle. Adjusting the setting(s) for the conditioning unit(s) based on the measured parameter(s), and operating the conditioning unit(s) in accordance with the adjusted setting(s). The setting(s) is/are initially calculated based on the historical, statistical and/or forecast data, thereby providing a qualified starting point. The setting(s) is/are then adjusted or fine tuned on the basis of actual temperatures of the nacelle, thereby taking these into account and reaching optimal setting(s) quickly. An artificial intelligence (AI) system may be used. The method may include control of temperature and/or humidity inside the nacelle and/or temperature of components arranged in the nacelle.
