The equipment used includes wind turbine towers, wind power conversion units, etc., which are mostly installed in sea areas with sufficient wind energy. The components are large in size. When they are built, they need to be pre-assembled on land and then transported to the sea for hoisting. The installation of the bottom section of the tower is the most critical process in the construction operation, and it is also the step that accounts for the largest proportion of the construction work. The weather for offshore operations is changeable with strong winds and heavy rainfall. Therefore, hoisting operations can only be carried out during the window period of good weather. In case of rain, the top of the tower needs to be covered with a rain cover to prevent rainwater from entering the tower to protect the internal electrical equipment.
