Abstract
A wind turbine with a tower and a nacelle with a nacelle housing is provided. The nacelle is placed on the tower. Further provided is a cooling flap, which is configured to close an opening in or on the area of the wind turbine to be cooled. At least one temperature-dependent passive actuator is configured to activate and open the cooling flap as a function of temperature, so as to enable a heat compensation in the area to be cooled by means of the opening. The temperature-dependent passive actuator can change its shape and/or its length without any external electrical energy as a function of temperature.
