Abstract: A wind turbine includes a tower, the tower having an upper part, a middle part and a lower part. The lower and the middle part of the tower form the base of the tower, waste heat generating equipment located in the middle part of the tower, and a cooling device with at least one cooling device inlet formed in the tower for introducing outside air surrounding the tower into the tower. The cooling device is adapted to guide the outside air from each cooling device inlet into the lower part of the tower such that the outside air can ascend towards the middle part and upper part of the tower while cooling the waste heat generating equipment. each cooling device inlet is located in the upper part of the tower.

Abstract: A wind turbine tower is provided. The wind turbine includes a tower wall, at least one inlet formed in a section of the tower wall for introducing air surrounding the wind turbine tower into the wind turbine tower, and a tower wall reinforcement, the tower wall reinforcement bracing the inner circumference of said tower wall section, and the tower wall reinforcement defining an air duct for guiding the air along the inner circumference of said tower wall section.
