Embodiment Construction

[0015] While the invention has been described in terms of various specific embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the claims.

[0016] Figure 1 is a tower section 10 erected and supported on a foundation 11 of a tower for a wind turbine (neither shown) according to a first embodiment of the invention. The tower section 10 comprises a pipe section 12 with an inner flange 14 mounted, for example by means of screws 16 , to anchors 18 embedded in the foundation 11 . Pipe section 12 is cylindrical and includes a cylindrical inner side 20 and a cylindrical outer side 22 . On the inside 20 of the pipe section 12 , for example made of steel or similar material, a set 23 of supports 24 is arranged in the form of a substantially U-shaped bracket 26 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , these supports 24 are arranged above the flange 14 at substantially the same height. Platform 28 may be...

Abstract

The segment (10) for a tower of a wind energy turbine comprises a tubular section (12) having a longitudinal axis and inner and outer sides (20, 22), and at least one group (144) of supporting elements (145) arranged at the inner side of the tubular section. The segment further comprises at least one platform (152) supportable by the supporting elements of the at least one group of supporting elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the arrangement of operational components or devices of a wind turbine in a tower. The invention relates more particularly to a tower section of a wind turbine for arranging operational components of the wind turbine in the tower. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method of arranging operational components of a wind turbine in a tower. Background technique [0002] Modern high performance wind turbines typically comprise a tubular tower with the various operating components of the wind turbine disposed within and at the base of the tower. These components or devices are necessary to supply electrical energy from the generator to the grid, such as frequency converters, transformers and / or control systems. [0003] These components and devices can be located at the bottom and inside of the tower through tower doors provided in the tower walls. In the past, these components and devices were put into the tower through...
