Problems solved by technology

However, it is generally more expensive to assemble a truss tower on site than to assemble a tubular tower in a factory
Also, assembling a truss tower on site generally takes more time than assembling a tubular tower in industry
Additionally, assembling a truss tower on site can be more difficult and complex than a tubular tower due to the weight, bulkiness and bulkiness of the truss tower members

Embodiment Construction

[0091] The systems and methods described herein facilitate the assembly of truss tower sections. In particular, utilizing the systems and methods described herein allows for more efficient assembly of truss tower sections in the field. Specifically, the systems and methods described herein assist in manipulating and assembling members of truss tower sections. Additionally, the systems and methods described herein are capable of assembling truss tower sections of various diameters and heights.

[0092] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary wind turbine 100 . In the exemplary embodiment, wind turbine 100 is a horizontal axis wind turbine. Alternatively, wind turbine 100 may be a vertical axis wind turbine. In the exemplary embodiment, wind turbine 100 includes tower 102 extending from and coupled to support surface 104 . Tower 102 may be coupled to surface 104 using, for example, anchor bolts or through foundation mounts (neither shown). Nacelle 106 is coupled to...

Abstract

The present invention concerns a system and a method of assembling a tower section. An assembly system for use in assembling a lattice tower section is provided. The system comprises a platform, a first mounting assembly coupled to the platform, and, a second mounting assembly coupled to the platform, the first and second mounting assemblies are configured to secure opposite ends of a plurality of leg members used in assembling the lattice tower section such that each of the plurality of leg members is suspended a distance from the platform, at least one of the first and second mounting assemblies is configured to selectively rotate a leg member of the plurality of leg members suspended therefrom.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates generally to towers used to support members, and more specifically, to truss towers. Background technique [0002] The tower structure can be used as a base to support structures such as wind turbine components, mobile phone tower components and grid tower components. Often such towers are constructed in situ, since the towers themselves can be much larger than can actually be transported. [0003] For wind turbine towers, such towers support wind turbines that are used to deliver more power to customers. At least some known wind turbine towers, such as tubular towers, are constructed from steel sheets rolled into "cans." Adjacent tanks are then welded together to form a tubular tower. However, as the need for higher tower heights has increased, the need to use stronger and thicker materials in the bases of these towers has also increased significantly. Sometimes, the need for materials with increased str...
