Embodiment Construction

[0035] In its broadest aspect, the invention relates to a suspension arrangement which can be easily moved within a wind turbine tower. The suspension is connected to the wind turbine tower by magnets, preferably permanent magnets. The suspension device is adapted to secure an otherwise freely movable suspension wire in the vertical position of the suspension device. Suspension wires are suspended along the longitudinal direction of the wind turbine tower, the upper ends of which suspension wires are connected to the upper part of the wind turbine tower and the lower ends thereof are connected to the swing block structure. By positioning the suspension device between the upper part of the wind turbine tower and the pendulum mass structure, and thereby fixing the suspension wires horizontally at the location of the suspension device, the dynamics of the damping device comprising the suspended pendulum mass structure can be adjusted, to meet specific needs.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wind turbine tower suspension arrangement comprising magnetic attachment means adapted to magnetically secure the suspension arrangement to an inner surface portion of the wind turbine tower. The suspension arrangement further comprises guiding means adapted to guide an element suspended in a substantially longitudinal direction of the wind turbine tower, the guiding means being connected to the magnetic attachments means. Moreover, the present invention relates to the method for applying a wind turbine tower suspension arrangement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a suspension arrangement and related method for damping vibrations in a wind turbine tower. In particular, the present invention relates to a suspension arrangement and a related method, wherein the damping characteristics of the suspension arrangement can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of existing wind turbines. Background technique [0002] Various damping arrangements for wind turbine towers have been proposed in the patent literature. [0003] For example, US 6,672,837 relates to a wind turbine provided with a vibration damping arrangement on the nacelle. The vibration damping device is designed to suppress edgewise vibrations of the rotor blades in the plane of rotation of the rotor. [0004] In particular, the vibration damping device mentioned in US 6,672,837 relates to a wind turbine, wherein the vibration damping device is arranged at the end of the nacelle, ie opposite the end from which the rotor ex...
