The present invention relates to a tower assembly system, a method of assembling a wind turbine tower and a wind turbine thereof. Three or more guidance devices may be mounted to a mounting flange in the upper end of a lower tower section and/or in the lower end of an upper tower section. The guidance device comprises a contact surface for contacting a mating contact surface on the opposite tower section. The guidance device comprises a mounting flange for mounting the device to the mounting flange of the tower section using fastening means. This allows the guidance devices to catch and guide the free hanging tower section into the correct position on the stationary tower section. This enables the assembly time to be reduced with up to 50 % compared with the present assembly methods. The guidance devices allow the workers to guide the free hanging tower section into position from the ground.

The present invention relates to an assembly stand and an assembly method for assembling a gear unit and a main shaft unit of a wind turbine. The assembly stand comprises a main shaft frame unit and a gear frame unit arranged on a base frame, wherein both frame units comprises adjustment means for adjusting the position of the main shaft unit and the gear unit in at least a horizontal or vertical direction. The main shaft unit and the gear unit are aligned by using a light source emitting a light beam onto removable guiding elements. The main shaft unit is positioned on a slidable seat and pulled into contact with the gear unit by pulling elements located on a moveable unit. The pulling element is connected to the gear unit via a wire extending through the main shaft unit.

The invention relates to a method for transporting two or three pre-bend wind turbine blades for a wind turbine and to a wind turbine blade transport unit, said wind turbine blades each having a length extending from a first end, e.g. a root end describing a first end plane, to a second end, e.g. a tip end, where said length is at least 35 metres, said wind turbine blades each comprising a central longitudinal axis extending perpendicular from said first end plane and towards said second end, said wind turbine blade further comprises an aerodynamically shaped body comprising a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge and a trailing edge. According to the invention the wind turbine blades are fixated in specific positions in relation to one or two other wind turbine blades as one single transport unit.

The present invention relates to a method of installing an offshore wind turbine and a transport vessel thereof. A part of a wind turbine is secured to a transport vessel by raising the part in a perpendicular direction relative to the transport vessel into a transport position using lifting means arranged on the transport vessel at a loading site. The transport vessel is then moved from the loading site out to an installation site. The transport vessel is secured to an offshore foundation which is located at the installation site. The wind turbine is then lowered onto an upper part of the offshore foundation using the lifting means. Finally, the transport vessel is released and moved away. This method eliminates the need for specially designed installation vessels using a crane to install an offshore wind turbine, thereby reducing the total installation costs.

The present invention relates to an installation tool for assembling a main rotor shaft unit and an assembly method thereof. The installation tool comprises a first element for supporting the generator end of the rotor shaft and a rotatable support plate is coupled to a second element of the installation tool via engaging coupling elements. The rotor shaft is rotated by a single crane unit via lifting elements mounted to the generator end, and then lifted out of the installation tool and placed on a floor. The bearing units are then mounted to the outer surface of the rotor shaft. The rotor shaft is afterwards lifted onto the installation tool so that the coupling element is brought into engagement and the rotor shaft is rotated on to the first element. This provides an installation tool that eliminates the need for two crane units to rotate the rotor shaft and reduces the amount of man-hours needed to assemble the rotor shaft unit by up to six hours. The installation tool also provides a stable tool for the workers since the center of gravity is located between the first element and the rotation point.
