AI Technical Summary
Problems solved by technology
However, removing and replacing each of these electrical components can be difficult, time consuming and costly
For example, when these components are located in the nacelle, these electrical components are often removed and replaced using large and expensive cranes
When these components are located adjacent to the base of the tower, an expensive and complex built-in crane system must be included within the tower to allow the components to be moved through a door or hatch usually located at the base of the tower
In any case, the removal and replacement of parts is not easy to achieve

Embodiment Construction
[0040] refer to figure 1 An offshore wind turbine installation 10 includes a base 12 generally disposed in a body of water 14 and a wind turbine 16 securely secured to the base 12 . Several foundation designs are available for supporting wind turbine 16 including, for example, monopile or truss foundations supported by the seabed and various floating foundation designs. Wind turbine 16 includes a tower 18 , a nacelle 20 disposed on top of tower 18 , and a rotor 22 operatively connected to a generator (not shown) housed within nacelle 20 . Tower 18 supports the loads provided by nacelle 20, rotor 22, and other components housed inside nacelle 20 of wind turbine 16, and also operates to lift nacelle 20 and rotor 22 above sea level in rapid The height of the mobile airflow. As is typical for offshore installations, the wind turbine 16 includes an external platform 24 and a hatch or door 26 at the base of the tower 18 for allowing personnel, tools, equipment, etc. to enter the i...

A method for moving a wind turbine component (42) relative to a wind turbine (16) having a tower (18) having an opening for closing the tower (18) (90) door (26), the method comprising: removably positioning a transport system (40) with respect to a wind turbine (16), the transport system (40) having a track (44) and a power drive ( 118), such that the first end (78) of the track (44) is positioned outside the tower (18), the second end (80) of the track (44) is positioned inside the tower (18), and the The rail (44) extends through an opening (90) in the tower (18). The transport system (40) is configured to facilitate movement of the wind turbine component (42) between the interior of the tower (18) and the exterior of the tower (18) through the opening (90). The method further comprises using the power drive (118) of the transport system (40) to move the wind turbine component (42) away from the track (44) or towards the track (44) in the Move vertically in the tower (18). A transport system (40) for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to wind turbines, and more particularly to a transport system for moving wind turbine components into and / or out of a wind turbine tower and using such a transport system to move a wind turbine A method of moving a component into a wind turbine tower and / or moving a wind turbine component out of a wind turbine tower. Background technique [0002] Wind turbines are used to generate electricity from renewable resources and without burning fossil fuels. Generally, wind turbines convert kinetic energy from the wind into electricity. A horizontal axis wind turbine consists of a tower, a nacelle at the top of the tower, and a rotor with a plurality of blades supported in the nacelle by a shaft. The shaft couples the rotor directly or indirectly with a generator housed in the nacelle. So when the wind forces the blades to spin, the generator produces electricity. [0003] In addition to these components, a wind turb...
