Abstract:
A wind turbine tower (14) is supported on a transition piece (18) that connects the tower (14) to a foundation and that defines a space (28) beneath the lower end of the tower (14). Electronic components positioned within a removable module (24) in the lower portion of a wind turbine tower may be removed through a lower end of the tower for service or replacement.
