1. A cooling system for a wind turbine, comprising:
a radiator assembly; and
a nacelle comprising a housing rotatably connected with the radiator assembly;
wherein the cooling system is configured to thermally couple the radiator assembly to a heat source inside the nacelle;
wherein the radiator assembly is moveable between a first position and a second position about a rotation axis located inside the housing of the nacelle;
wherein, when in the first position, the radiator assembly extends away from an upper roof of the housing of the nacelle;
wherein, when in the second position, the radiator assembly is contained inside the housing of the nacelle.
