Abstract:
1. A wind turbine, comprising: a nacelle including a nacelle inlet for air and a nacelle outlet for the air; at least one debris-generating device mounted in the nacelle and generating a first amount of debris, wherein the at least one debris-generating device includes a device outlet for discharging a fluid stream and the first amount of the debris entrained therein, wherein the fluid stream includes at least a portion of the air coming in the nacelle inlet; and an electro-static filtering device comprising at least one electro-static filter configured to receive the fluid stream departing from the device outlet of the at least one debris-generating device, the electro-static filtering device includes a filtering device inlet and a filtering device outlet, the electro-static filtering device further being configured to filter the fluid stream which is received leaving only a second amount of the debris provided by the at least one debris-generating device within the fluid stream, wherein the second amount of debris being lower than the first amount of debris; at least one fluid path conduit comprising at least one of piping or tubing, wherein the at least one fluid path conduit establishes a fluid path from the device outlet of the at least one debris-generating device to the filtering device inlet and from the filtering device outlet to the nacelle outlet.
