1. A canopy for a direct drive wind turbine, the canopy comprising:
an interface section mechanically coupled to a generator and configured for mechanically coupling the canopy to the generator, the interface section arranged between the canopy and a rotor of the direct drive wind turbine, wherein the interface section comprises at least one outlet configured to receive cooling fluid exhausted by the generator and eject the cooling fluid without guiding the cooling fluid into a nacelle of the direct drive wind turbine.
