Abstract
Provided is a wind turbine including multiple components generating heat during operation of the wind turbine and a liquid cooling system, wherein the multiple components are thermally coupled by a liquid coolant cycle of the liquid coolant system to an ambient heat exchanger of the liquid coolant system, the ambient heat exchanger being arranged to exchange heat between a liquid coolant contained in the liquid coolant cycle and ambient air, whereby the liquid coolant system includes a heat pump having a cooling operation mode, wherein the heat pump is arranged in the coolant liquid cycle such that the liquid coolant of the liquid coolant cycle is cooled, when the heat pump is operated in the cooling operation mode. Also provided is a method for operating the wind turbine.
